The sit @ home is almost getting to a month here in Awka Nigeria. My friends and I are gradually running out of foodstuffs.

Just today, we couldn’t think of what to eat.So I came up with this- Spaghetti with pumpkin leaves sauce.

These are the ingredients:

  1. A packet of spaghetti

  2. Pumpkin leaves

  3. Tomatoes

  4. Carrot

5.Fresh pepper

6.Smoked fish

7.Onions

  1. Ground nut oil

  2. Seasoning

The process:

Put water in a pot allow to boil. Add your spaghetti to the boiling water and allow it cook.Then sieve out the water with a basket.

After that, put a dry pot on fire, add your ground nut oil, onions, add the sliced tomatoes and pepper, the already washed fish,the seasoning. Allow to cook for sometime,after that add the pumpkin leaves.Dont allow it cook for so long,so as to maintain its greenish look.

That’s all! Your spaghetti and pumpkin leave sauce is ready!

But come to think of it, this is ugu season

With the nutritional content am trying this recipe

But let me ask oh ? You did not add water to the sauce

@BorrisS thanks so much. No, I didn’t create it, I only got it from the garden. Pumpkin leaves are grown in almost every garden where I come from. @Awka,Nigeria…

My favourite pasta is Golden penny spaghetti.

Really? What is it called in your local dialect? We call it “Ugu” where I come from.
