Why You'll Want This Again

Comforting and full of rich flavors. The meat sauce is hearty and pairs perfectly with pasta, making it a satisfying meal for any day. It’s easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

Expert Cooking Tips

- Use fresh herbs like basil or oregano to enhance the sauce’s flavor.
- Let the sauce simmer gently to develop a deeper taste.
- Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until it’s almost done (about 90%). Drain and rinse with cold water to stop it from cooking further.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped garlic and onions, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften.

Step 3

Add the minced chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes, then stir well.

Step 4

Pour in the vinegar, soy sauce, and chili sauce, and cook for another minute. Add the chicken stock and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped coriander and remove the pan from the heat.

Step 6

Serve the cooked spaghetti on plates, spoon the meat sauce over the top, garnish with a little extra coriander, and enjoy!

Best Foods To Serve With This

Serve with a side of garlic bread and a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top adds a nice finishing touch.

Best Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to keep the sauce moist.
