spaghetti on a rainy afternoon

The bf and i were in the grocery last thursday night. When i passed by the pasta/noodles section, i instantly had a hankering for a home cooked spaghetti. =) takaw! Right there and then i purchased the ingredients like pasta, cheese and sauce. yeyeye! I planned to buy the ground pork and hotdogs the next day when i go home from work. The next day it rained on my way home! That's why I was not able to drop by the market to buy the missing items. =( Meaning no spaghetti that friday evening huhuhu. When i woke up saturday morning, like my mom was able to read my mind, the meats are already in the freezer! hooray!! So, after finishing my laundry i went ahead to the kitchen to boil some water for the pasta. Added a tablespoon of oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together and half a teaspoon of salt for a little flavor. Then i also set on fire a second pot for the ground pork to cook. I combined it with enough water and let it boil till the water dries up and its own fat browned the meat a little. On the side, i chopped up garlic and onions and cubed the hotdogs and grated the cheese. =)

The pasta was now al dente after 20 minutes on the boiling water. 20 more minutes and the ground meat is ready.

Then heated up a little oil and sauteed the garlic and onions. I then added the hotdogs in the pan to cook it with the meat. When it was tender and juicy (hehehe) i added the spaghetti sauce, half of the grated cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. It simmered for 5 minutes and was removed from the fire after. I then added the pasta and mixed it with a little more cheese. Voila! Spaghetti for the whole family! It was our comfort food for that rainy afternoon.
