3. After that, pick the basil leaves, you can also reserving some baby leaves for garnish. It’s optional. Then cut it with julienne cut (finely slices). We just used dried basil so we skipped this step.

The mixture after stir frying should be golden brown and the onion will became transparent. Then seasoning with salt, pepper and dried basil.

6. Furthermore, add the spaghetti and mix well. Remember one point, we have reduced time for boiling pasta so we can cook for the remaining time in here. DO NOT over cook. The best texture of pasta should be “AL Dente”, in English it translate as “to the tooth”, it means pasta is soft enough to eat but still have a bit of bite and firmness.

Mix well

7. Finally, add some extra-virgin olive oil for coating, it gives more flavor boost to the pasta. Remove them from the pan and plating. Garnish it by basil and Parmesan cheese. (You can use microplane to finely grate the cheese and sprinkle it on top)

DA DA! Finished
