On Tuesday I cooked dinner because my mom was busy. I volunteered to cook spaghetti and she said ok.
To make my spaghetti sauce, I added minced pork, plenty of onions and garlic, grated carrot, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, mushrooms and basil leaves.
First I cut up the onion and garlic. Then I boiled water in a pot to cook the pasta. Then I put olive oil in a pan and fried the onion and garlic. Next I fried the minced pork until no longer pink. Then I added the mushrooms, grated carrot, a bit of salt, canned tomatoes and tomato paste and simmered. I added the basil leaves last. When the water was boiled, I cooked the pasta until al dente.
When it all was cooked, I served it. It was a very appetising meal although maybe it was not salty enough according to my mom. At least today I got to cook! So it was a good experience.
