A bit of a mix of middle-eastern and mediterranean here; the garlic yoghurt sauce is what you usually get on your kebabs, but it's pretty versatile. This is a quick, tasty meal which can be played around with to get exactly what you want. Oh and no picture, we ate it too fast!
Spaghetti with garlic yoghurt sauce
Serves 4
Total time taken to cook and prepare was 20 minutes!
300g dried spaghetti (I generally use brown)
A 450g tub of yoghurt
Around 300g of ficken (fake chicken!), but you can have more
2 avocadoes
A bag of baby spinach salad leaves
A bunch of chives
Garlic (crushed, in a tube or in a jar... you choose, it'll be up to you to decide the amount that you want.)
Lemon juice for keeping the avocado from going brown
2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp Olive oil
* While waiting for the water to boil for the pasta and 1tbsp of the oil to heat in a pan, chop the ficken into small pieces and chop the chives.
* Add the spaghetti to boiling water, bring back to the boil and boil gently for 10-12 minutes.
* Add the ficken to the pan, toss, sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar, then fry gently until the spaghetti is done.
* In the meantime add your garlic of choice to the yoghurt and stir vigorously. It's best to start small and taste as you go along.
* Add the remaining 1tbsp of oil, a splash of lemon juice if you have spare and the chives to the yoghurt sauce.
* Just as everything else is finishing cooking arrange the baby spinach on a plate along with the half of avocado (sprinkled with lemon juice).
* Serve with the garlic sauce on the pasta and the ficken on top. Season as required.
