Jollof Spaghetti is easy to make recipe particularly if you already have Nigerian stew in your freezer, then this Nigerian Jollof spaghetti will be a breeze.

Jollof Spaghetti or spaghetti Jollof is a delicious substitute to our daily Nigerian Jollof rice. This recipe is amazingly delicious and cooks way faster than the rice version.

Spaghetti is a widespread food in the Nigerian diet. Similar to rice, this food can either be cooked plain and served with stew or prepared the Jollof way.

The spaghetti is usually broken into 2 or 3 parts because it is easier to wrap the broken parts around the fork.

Best for any time of the day, you can also serve this if bored with everyday spaghetti and sauce for a change.

Jollof Spaghetti is quite simple to prepare and can be made with or without vegetables.
