Spicy Chicken Spaghetti

I have always loved italian cuisine. And I’m also a spice eater. So whenever I cook any kind of italian or chinese food, I end up making a spicier and yummier desi version of it. Here is my version of spicy chicken spaghetti that has a blend of asian and italian flavors cooked with juicy tomato sauce. Well, on contrary to other recipes, let me tell you why I always take bone in chicken for my spaghetti. Its because when you cook the chicken and veggies in tomato sauce, it makes it more flavorsome and the chicken broth makes the gravy juicier. But still you can use boneless chicken if you want. For veggies, I only added green capsicum but you can add carrots, mushrooms, cabbage or any other vegetable that you like in your pasta. One more thing, boil your spaghetti very well. I barely follow cooking time mentioned on the pack because I like my spaghetties soft and effortlessly chewable, not broken though. When it comes to cooking, there are no hard and fast rules and you should keep on experimenting with all the spices and flavors to create something new, better and yummier.
