MY SIMPLE JOLLOF SPAGHETTI WITH CANNED MACKEREL FISH

I’m so excited about this recipe because it is very easy and you do not need any special ingredients to prepare it. I’m sure most of the ingredients are lying around your kitchen.

This Jollof spaghetti recipe was made with the popular Nigerian “Geisha”.

Gesha is steamed mackerel fish in tomato sauce. It is very popular in West Africa. It can be eaten with bread, Jollof rice, porridge, etc.

Most Jollof spaghetti always ends up soggy, so people prefer cooking stir fry spaghetti. In this recipe, the spaghetti was cooked from the scratch in the tomato sauce. I tried cooking spaghetti this way and since then I’ve always used this method. This is Jollof spaghetti with a little twist.

Note; Please Use the brand of spaghetti that you are very familiar with.
