The Filipino Spaghetti Recipe The difference between Italian spaghetti and Filipino spaghetti is the addition of banana ketchup, which makes this a rather sweet dish. Oh, and I almost forgot the hot dogs,
Prep Time: 15 Minutes, Cook Time: 40 Minutes, Serve: 12
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 head garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound hot dogs, sliced diagonally
1 (14 ounce) jar banana ketchup
1 (26.5 ounce) can spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup white sugar
2 pounds spaghetti
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil.
Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the beef and pork; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the meat has browned. Pour in the spaghetti sauce, banana ketchup, sugar, and water.
Simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in hot dog slices and continue to cook until hot dogs are heated through.
Serve over spaghetti with Cheddar cheese sprinkled on top.
