Jollof Spaghetti Recipe

Making Jollof Spaghetti is almost the same as making the Nigerian Jollof Rice, I only add a little twist to this recipe to make it a more suited for Spaghetti.

Note: My mixed vegetables consist of Carrots, Green Beans, and Sweet Peas but feel free to use any choice of Vegetables.

We got lean ground beef as a free gift and I was wondering how to eat it. I came across this recipe and tried it not with spaghetti though but with Tubetti(another pasta variety). My husband and I enjoyed it.
