Easy Pasta

Feli will love this recipe... I whipped it up yesterday to recycle my leftover mushrooms hehe... and my friend loved it...
Ingredients:
1/2 pack of spaghetti -- boil with a few drops of olive oil and salt to aldente, drenched w/ cold water, add olive oil to prevent stickiness
1 pack of cherry tomato -- cut half
1/2 small packet sweet basil leave -- use fresh ones, coarsely chopped
200 gr minced lean pork
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 packet of mix mushroom -- cut mushroom to 4 (I use shitake, button mushroom, and enoki)
herbs: rosemary, thyme, parsley -- I prefer them fresh, but dried ones are more practical hehehe
seasoning: mix seasoning, sugar, nutmeg, black pepper, tomato ketchup, chilli sauce (2 belibis)
How to make:
1. saute garlic with olive oil until fragrant, then cook minced pork until half done (sprinkle the mix seasoning while stirring the pork, this will make the pork tasty and not smelly)
2. put the mushroom and the rest of ingredients (except the pasta). Saute until done, then set aside.
3. on the same skillet, heat up olive oil and scoop some of the sauteed pork and mushroom and mix it together with the pasta (when do this, it would be easier to use thongs or wooden chopsticks. It's faster and the pasta will easily well-mixed. If you don't know how to do it, watch those italian cooks in the restaurant cook the pasta, that should give you the idea hahaa...)
4. For garnish, can sprinkle the basil leave on top
