Step 3

Pour oil and 500 ml of boiling water over the ingredients. Turn the heat on and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing the spaghetti through the liquid ever so often until it is cooked and the sauce is reduced and clinging to it. Add a splash more hot water if the sauce is too thick or does not cover the pasta while it cooks.
