Spaghetti is supposed to be easy to cook.
Waiting for Mrs Nutty to get home my Sous-chef and I made a home made tomato sauce from scratch, planned meatballs from the freezer, lamb steaks from the freezer, an onion and mushroom sauce from scratch, salad from scratch, etc... i.e. we were having a "what can we find to eat without going shopping, and make meals for three separate tastebuds and which aren't going to be rejected" evening.
Right time on the clock to get the Spaghetti water on.
Induction hob turned to MAXIMUM
My nose started twitching, smoke was rising, I wrongly cursed recent visitors for dishwashing the saucepan and water getting above the plate.
Neither myself or 8 year old Sous-chef spotted that the pan had no water in it. Well, I did after smoke and pong levels had risen enough.
Extractor fan and opened windows were deployed, as was cold water into the pan.
Mrs Nutty arrived home, went to get changed, and examined all hair dryers and other electrical items as there appeared to be a problem
