filipino spaghetti - filipino spaghetti
Well, though I am in Canada already, I still make filipino spaghetti, it's sweeter compared to yours:)+ hehehe..we use banana ketsup. You must be curious how it is being made. I will give you the recipe and instructions so you will have an idea:)+ heheheh. 500 g. of spaghetti 500 g. of ground sirloin 2 tbsps. of finely minced garlic 2 onions, finely 4 tomatoes, finely chopped 1 carrot, finely chopped 2 bell peppers, cored, seeded and finely chopped 6 regular hotdogs, sliced into rings 4 c. of sweet-style spaghetti sauce 4 tbsps. of olive oil salt and pepper to taste 1 bay leaf 1 tbsp. of butter grated cheese Cooking Instructions:Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and toss with butter. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the ground beef. Cook over high heat until the meat is no longer pink. Add the garlic, onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, carrot and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in about a cup and a half of water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture is almost dry and the vegetables are cooked to a pulp. Turn up the heat, add the sliced hotdogs and cook, stirring for about a minute. Pour in the spaghetti sauce and bring to a soft boil. Adjust the seasonings. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for another 5-7 minutes. And here is the picture:) HMmm...yummmy!!!

i like to make the filipino-style spaghetti. its a little bit sweet and a little bit sour at the same time. it is also very tasty because it has a lot of cheese in the sauce and on top of the spaghetti. here in the philippines, the best brand would be delmonte filipino-style spaghetti sauce. i dont know if its available wherever you live. where do you live anyway?

I get whatever is on sale usually, but prefer rigatoni over spaghetti style because it holds the sauce better.
