Filipino Spaghetti

Recipe Description

Filipino Spaghetti is a filipino take on the Italian classic spaghetti bolognese dish. This version has a sweet tomato sauce with ground pork and sliced hotdogs. I use evaporated milk to sweeten the sauce, but you can also use brown sugar or banana ketchup.

It’s so simple to make too. Simply cook up a large pot of spaghetti. Make a sauce by sautéing onion and garlic and ground pork. Mix in hotdog pieces and some minced veggies and simmer with water before adding more tomatoes and simmering again. Mix the sauce with the spaghetti and serve topped with grated cheese. Yum!

To make Filipino Spaghetti, you will need the following ingredients:
