Filipino-style spaghetti is a unique and beloved version of the classic pasta dish in the Philippines. It’s known for its sweet and savory flavor profile, which comes from a tomato-based sauce that includes a variety of meat ingredients such as ground pork, luncheon meat, and hotdogs1. The sauce is often made sweeter by adding sugar or banana ketchup if Filipino-style spaghetti sauce isn’t available1. It’s a popular dish served at birthdays, children’s parties and family gatherings.
