Notes
You can add any veggies like mushroom, capsicum or broccoli or cooked chicken, beef, prawns etc;
I added cooked mushrooms. I used 200 gms of mushrooms for the above measurements. I added the cooked mushrooms along with the spaghetti.
You can use same qty of cheese slices instead of cheese cubes.
You can also garnish the pasta with fried garlic, if you like.
