Spaghetti FAQs

How do I thicken spaghetti sauce?

To thicken spaghetti sauce, simmer it uncovered to allow excess liquid to evaporate. You can also stir in a small amount of tomato paste, or add a slurry made of equal parts cornstarch and cold water. Adding a small amount of reserved pasta water can also thicken your sauce.

How do I prepare spaghetti?

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-12 minutes, until it’s al dente (cooked but slightly firm). Drain the spaghetti, but don't rinse it, so the sauce sticks well.

How do I prepare meatballs for spaghetti?

To prepare meatballs, combine ground meat with breadcrumbs, an egg, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped herbs like parsley. Mix until well combined, then form into small balls. You can either bake the meatballs in the oven or brown them in a skillet, then simmer them in the spaghetti sauce for added flavour.

How do I reduce the acidity of spaghetti sauce?

To reduce the acidity, add a small amount of sugar or grated carrots, which adds natural sweetness. You can also stir in a bit of baking soda, which neutralises acidity, but be cautious as too much can alter the sauce's flavour.
