Step 1
Bring water to a rapid boil in a large pot. Add salt and pasta. Let the water keep boiling and cook the spaghetti al dente & not too soft. Refer the instructions on the pack for the amount of salt and the exact cook time.
Step 2
Reserve ½ cup spaghetti cooked stock and drain the spaghetti to a colander.
Step 3
Heat half the oil in a pan or pot. Add half of the garlic and let it sizzle for a minute. Add the shredded or diced chicken and saute until soft and fully cooked.
Step 4
Add the ground spices and saute on a high heat for a minute. Set the chicken aside.
Step 5
Pour rest of the oil to the pan and add the rest of the garlic. When the garlic begins to sizzle, add the chopped onions. Saute until golden.
Step 6
Add tomatoes and cook until the sauce becomes thick.
Step 7
Transfer the sautéed chicken and 2 to 3 tbsps of pasta cooked stock. Mix and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce reaches a thick consistency. Taste test and add more salt or spices to taste.
Step 8
Add spaghetti and mix well. If your chicken spaghetti looks dry, you may add a splash of pasta stock or more oil.
Step 9
If you like to make it cheesy add your favorite cheese over the chicken spaghetti. Serve hot with a side of soup or cheese toast.
