Red Spaghetti

So Jollof is the Nigerian identity on the food market and the method of cooking Jollof Rice has been a thing I worked through many starches.
For this spaghetti recipe, the central ingredient is the tomato. So you better get good ones. Get good tomatoes and they will save you the stress of having to finesse your way while you were stirring.
I have so may versions of this and best believe that I will be changing the photos on this.
