No. It doesn't take that long before it sinks anyway.

Best way to check if its cooked though, is to take out a strand, cut it in half and if its still white in the middle, its not cooked yet.

Only takes about a minute for it to be soft enough to all fit in the pan :laugh:

alright ainsley harriott

Lol. You splay it out in the pan. I am forever trying to push it down 'cause I am too impatient.

Making sauce though is easy Joe. It just takes a while.

What will I need?

You don't really cook spag bol until you kill the cow and butcher it yourself :idc:

1. A cow

I remember in food tech this girl set her spaghetti on fire cause it was sticking out of the pan. Dunno how she managed it but she did.

I just use an onion and garlic. Tinned tomatoes. Passata. Tomato paste. Basil. Salt & pepper.

Doesn't sound too bad, think we've got most of that. I'm really in the mood for it now at like 01:54am but dunno what I'll be like tomorrow evening haha maybe work my way up, get the spaghetti nailed tomorrow, and need to use that sauce anyway

Having Spaghetti bolognese today actually

you're not making it now, are you :suspect:

No :joker: Just something different for tomorrow rather than a takeaway I usually get on fridays. But really fancy it right now

Best thing to do is make a sh.it load and then freeze what you have left over for when you are next in the mood.

yeah, cos once you open sauce you need to use it quite fast I think, so best to put a lot to use.

should do it now really. right now

I need to put my grand national bets on tomorrow, can't be sleeping all day :nono:

20 on Weird Al

It's supposed to be half an inch per person when you hold it in between your fingers. Thats what my mum says anyway :blush2:

I ended up making it :amazed:

I didn't need to snap it in the end either, with much prodding it all got in there in the end. I just grabbed a handful and it seemed to be enough.

I love spaghetti! :amazed:

..was it good?

It was excellent! Suitable for veggies too.

..you didn't put mince in it then..just pasta and sauce..that's one of my favourites..you can make it for us all sometime..Come Dine With Inone

Yes, you and anyone else who wants to come is welcome for spag and sauce anytime!

Glad it turned out ok.
