Have you tried YouTube videos ??

Just watch different videos of what you want to cook on YouTube, then follow the one with the simplest method...it's easy to learn that way ( because many of them tend to exaggerate on the ingredients and method of preparation )

You don't have to take every statement literally, the op said he wants to learn how to cook, not that he hasn't got any food to eat.

This is a simple but tasty spaghetti jollof recipe.
For one pack of spaghetti, you're going to need :

Vegetable oil
5-6 medium sized tomatoes, chopped
One 70g of tomato paste
One medium sized onion, chopped
4 scotch bonnet peppers ( ata rodo), chopped
4 tablespoons ground crayfish
2 seasoning cubes
Salt

Method:
In a pot of water, add a teaspoon of salt and 3 tablespoons of oil, allow to boil before putting in your already broken spaghetti ( please do not wash your spaghetti)

Allow to cook for 20mins
After 20mins, taste to check if it's as soft as you would want ( you can leave it for little bit more time if you want)

After it's cooked, pour into a sieve and set aside to allow it drain
Put your pot back on the fire, then add 3cooking spoonful of oil
When the oil is heated, add your chopped onion, allow it to fry a little bit, then add your tomato paste
Keep stirring to prevent it from burning.
When the oil has turned red, then add your fresh chopped tomatoes and peppers
Stir and allow to fry for about 10-15 mins
Add your crayfish and seasoning cubes
Stir the sauce very well before adding your already cooked spaghetti
Add a little salt to your taste and stir till well mixed ( still on the fire)
While stirring, if you find out it's burning, just lower the heat

Your jollof spaghetti is ready!
You can eat it with any protein of your choice ( Meat, chicken, fish or eggs)

Please let me know how it goes .

When it comes to cooking, males follow instructions, while females use their intuition.

Because it's written on the pack doesn't mean it's accurate .
