filipino spaghetti

This recipe is every kid's favorite - Filipino Spaghetti - and comes from the orphanage that I worked at for a year in Cebu. Spaghetti, hot dogs, tomato sauce, and seasonings. So simple, so good.

Filipino Spaghetti

spaghetti noodles

lb. Italian tomato sauce

tomato paste

onion

garlic

pork

carrots and red peppers

hot dogs

water

salt

seasoning mix

evaporated milk

cheese

Cook the noodles according to package directions. Set aside.

Place the garlic, onion, and oil in a large saucepan or skillet. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until soft and fragrant. Add the ground pork and brown the meat until it’s completely cooked.

Add the minced vegetables and hot dog pieces and stir to combine. Add the water and allow the mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste to the meat and continue to simmer the mixture for another 10-15 minutes. Add the evaporated milk and salt and stir until incorporated.

Combine the noodles and the sauce in a large pot or mixing bowl. Top with grated cheese. At Cherne they grate a processed cheese similar to Velveeta and let it melt into the top layer of the spaghetti.

Had this style of pasta this evening and though initially a little sweet for my tastes,tweaking from the spice cabinet did the trick.  Took one Del Monte Fillipino Style Sauce and added lots of onion,pork,beef and turkey,smoked paprika,shiracha and high grade sea salt. It made a large pot of tasty sauce. Thanks for the post I will try this recipe at another time. We have a Jolibee around the corner in Hollywood.

While the tweaking is interesting for your liking...I wouldn't change or suggest it for this recipe because then its no longer an authentic philipino spaghetti sauce :/

Lindsey,

Thank you so much for posting these! I travel to the Philippines all the time, and have been looking all over for recipes so I can make some of the traditional dishes at home. Also, my family is adopting from the Philippines, and I want to learn how to make some of these "comfort" foods so that our child will get a little taste of "home" in his or her new home. Thanks for giving me a place to start!!

LOVE Filipino spaghetti, which basically differentiates with a  sweet tomato sauce.  My mom and I use already-whipped up sauce like Prego and add sugar for sweetness.  My grandma uses banana ketchup.  I'm salivating as I type.  Just came across your blog.  I look forward to following your recipes and seeing the rest of your Filipino ones!

Salivating as I type this comment! I miss eating Filipino spaghetti! Although, to make it much simpler, we use banana ketchup. Yum!

Satisfy your pasta cravings with an easy Filipino spaghetti dish. It combines a sweet tomato sauce and savory meats with spaghetti noodles.
