Ingredients
- 300g spaghetti noodles
- 1 can of tomatoes (400g)
- 1 can of chili beans (400g)
- 3 tablespoons cooked sour cream
- 3 tablespoons garlic dip
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon crazy mixed-up salt
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons shredded cheddar
- 3 tablespoons shredded Swiss
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 3 pickles, diced
- Soy milk (for a splash)
Instructions
- Boil the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Throw in the spaghetti noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Don’t overcook it, or you’ll end up with mush. Set aside when done.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a large pan, heat up the canned tomatoes over medium heat. Add the chili beans, garlic dip, and cooked sour cream. Stir it like you mean it!
- Add the Flavors: Toss in the peanut butter, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. Mix well until everything is combined. Add cumin, garlic powder, crazy mixed-up salt, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust if necessary—don’t just dump in the seasonings without checking!
- Combine the Pasta: Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, tossing it together until the noodles are well-coated. If it’s too thick, splash in some soy milk—just a bit, we’re not making soup here!
- Cheesy Goodness: Stir in the shredded cheddar, shredded Swiss, and Parmesan. Let it melt into the sauce. You want it gooey, not a clump of cheese sitting on top!
- Finish Up: Finally, fold in the diced pickles. This is your secret weapon—trust me, it adds a crunch that you didn’t know you needed!
- Plate It: Serve it hot, and don’t just dump it on the plate like a bloody mess. Take your time, make it look good. Garnish with a bit more cheese if you want to impress.
And there you have it—a spaghetti dish that’s anything but ordinary. It’s bold, it’s fun, and it’s packed with flavor. Now, dig in and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Remember, cooking is about experimenting and having a blast! Get in the kitchen and own it!
