Sundays are for letting loose just a little. After a week of strict eating and discipline, Raahi and I treat ourselves to something warm, spicy, and soul-satisfying.
This recipe was born from a playful kitchen experiment—a delicious, high-protein cheat meal that doesn’t really feel like cheating.
It’s rich with garlic and peri peri heat, tender chicken, soft veggies, and a buttery-spaghetti hug.
Just like our bond… a little bold, a little soft, and totally unforgettable.
A fiery, protein-packed spaghetti made with butter-fried chicken, stir-fried veggies, and a cheeky kiss of peri peri spice. Your Sunday cheat meal, guilt-free.
