Ginger works really well with tomatoes, especially fresh tomatoes. They tone each other down and knock out a lot of the acidity and heat and really bring out the natural sweetness. In my experience at least. Canned tomatoes need a little bit more work though since those are very acidic alone.
To those folks bashing this nice lady for her take on spaghetti, listen up! The traditional Italian spaghetti dish that most of us know and love didn't exist prior to the middle of the sixteen century in Europe because tomatoes are native to South America; grown by the Inca (later cultivated in Central America, and in Mexico by the Aztecs). Tomatoes were then introduced to Africa around a century later. I appreciate different takes on spaghetti. After all, like I've stated before, today's Italian take on spaghetti isn't the original.... Because there weren't any tomatoes in Italy before the conquest of the Americas, I feel that everyone's take on it according to the tastes of their own culture is valid. Practically every dish that's prepared today anywhere is based on an older recipe from somewhere else. From migrations to conquests, food - like people - have been changing and mixing for centuries! Don't fight over food, just appreciate it and enjoy! 🖖
You are absolutely correct. If the Italian can provide necessary ingredients to all the people in different parts of the world. And maybe because of taste preference. I am a Filipino and Filipino style spaghetti is the best version of spaghetti for me. That is why there is a word about globalization, I don't like Italian spaghetti because it's too sour for me, maybe because of the tomatoes 😢, sorry
This is very true! Also spaghetti was introduced from asia, I'm not sure if they were using wheat in asia or why spaghetti is different to the asian noodles we know, but we don't really see asian people lamenting about the Italians and their spaghetti habits 😅
@@meimei7246you don't know nothing about italian food. 😂😂😂 italian food is one of the most varied in the world, but you stop only at spaghetti and pizza😂😂😂
Most cooking videos seem to be about the poster stroking their own ego. Because of course they have a zester and fresh citrus fruit and fresh garlic and a garlic press and a pasta maker and an air fryer. I mean, who doesn’t? 😂
Even I don't like my pepper and tomatoes fully blended, you need texture for pasta. This recipe is great for my weekday meals, so quick and versatile, I can tweak to my taste. I will definitely add this to my weekly menu planner. PS: I usually prep my ingredients the night before, I also freeze if I have time to make a batch. Nice one Ify, so glad my niece introduced me to your channel.
@DJRenee Frozen or not, it still wasn't peppers, that was definitely carrots & peas she added, and it looked like some lil' pieces of green beans was mixed in with it too, lol
I like mine with garlic, onion, oregano, basil, bay leaf, ground beef, sugar, salt and pepper, bell pepper and italian sausage. The peas and carrots will go on the side.
But she did. Listen to her. She is literally saying what she is using. Unless you want her to measure it and say it, but I know most of us African we don’t measure anything. We use our eyes as a measuring cup lol.
WOW Chef Ify 👩🏾🍳, your Spaghetti and Suace 🍝🍜 with Veg looks mouthwatering,Colourful, appetising, with aromatic flavours. This meal is a banger and looks absolutely delicious 😍😋.

This looks delicious, but us Italian Americans would never put ginger in our spaghetti. My Dominican husband also has his own twist on spaghetti, which is also delicious, but arguably not spaghetti anymore.
All these "italian" tomato based dishes originated in West Africa ... the cuisine traveled to the Italian peninsula through immigrants bringing it to sicilly and it spread up north. In other words don't tell the originator how to make the dish they originated.
Nice video... Cooking is actually stressful & may be seen as being complicated cos its not just about cooking, it involves so many things... @chef Ify, swear that you did all this prep urself without any assistance or gadgets, also you washed, cleaned and tidied everything yourself...
Most cooks may use a blender or mortar to blend their tomatoes , there are new veggie cutters in the market to help chop veggies faster as well Of course if you don't have help, you'd do the dishes. If you see cooking as self care, considering that most store bought foods would have lots of salt,sugar and oil etc , Spending 30 - 60minutes cooking and cleaning is not a big deal considering we spend more than that time on things that don't matter on the long run. Some spend that same time on a queue in a fast food shop or waiting for the delivery person or even walking or driving to the restaurant. Meal prepping also goes a long way to save time I work full time, have kids and cook everyday. Is it hard? yes, but I have chosen my hard.
I do all my prep myself and I clean up after. I prefer to do it alone. I know I don’t have to, and I know I can ask for help but I just like to cook for my family by myself. A lot of people can’t do it as easily but some people can. There’s nothing wrong with either. Ify may do it alone or may use help. She can say cooking is easy and she will be right. You may also be right to say it’s not. My point is, easy is subjective.
Textures matter!!! You are so correct, a lot of people and cultures neglect the importance of texture. That is ok, it’s not right or wrong you should eat what you like. But to myself, textures are in what I consider the top 3 most important characteristics of food. (Taste, texture, smell)
The spaghetti here is just mixed into the sauce. Which also looks delicious! Maybe mention how much liquid, cook time, which seasoning, and how much to precook the pasta. ❤
Thought you said "white people making cooking look so complicated, why?" Which I thought is hilarious lol! I gotta start posting my cooking. To show how I throw down
🍝🎉 throw in pound of beef or ground turkey Onion green chillies and a can of Rotel with green chilies. I love Prego garden combo if you want green pepper and I swear if you want a mild spice and a new spaghetti it's soooo amazing. Like she said always cook at same time I want to try hers I hope she or some someone sees mine
So similar to masala pasta i make at home here in india. And i love the texture too! Most of the time, i keep it simple like you. Its equally delicious and amazing! This might not be authentic italian spaghetti and i apologise for that but my family just loves it this way😅
This reminds me of my aunts spaghetti, as kids the adults always made the Ethiopian food spicy..but we still had to consume all the same ingredients. My aunt would make us a tomato sauce with red onion, garlic, ginger and berbere (Ethiopian pepper). We ate it until we were old enough to eat injera and handle real spice..to this day I sometimes crave the taste of injera and her pasta. we’d have our pasta and use injera to pick it up..unless the parents were super Americanized didnt care for their kids to eat with injera. Our parents didn’t play that! 😅Some restaurants in Ethiopia will serve pasta this way too, from Italy’s short influence in Ethiopia we secretly love pasta..we will just never tell Italy that! 😆🫶🏽🇪🇹
I always cook my pasta separate and I cook my sauce separate. I will try cooking this recipe soon Thank you for sharing this recipe. I agree of ginger and garlic. Have a blessed day 🙏

Roast the veggies a little and then add. You'll love it
Yes I know how to cook 😊 and have also learned more from you thank you and I appreciate your teaching ❤❤❤❤🙏God bless you ma
Add a bit of butter to the finished product. Also, saute your veggies and meat with the tomatoes before you put the pasta in.
Looks delicious! And your voice makes me excited about cooking and eating ❤
As a pasta lover, I drooled from the beginning to the end..🤤🤤🤤👌🏽👌🏽 As a matter of fact, the drooling is still ongoing as I type😩
