How To Cook Spaghetti Sauce For Your Pinoy-Style Spaghetti
The spaghetti is blend of sweet and spicy in a sauce with hotdogs.
The Pinoy-style spaghetti is also known as sweet spaghetti. That's because most Filipinos prefer food on the sweet side. Tomatoes are not an indigenous agricultural crop, so when a shortage of the imported crop occurred during the last world war, the closest ingredient we had to tomato sauce for spaghetti resulted in the creation of the banana ketchup.
This blend of sweet and spicy in a sauce with hotdogs is the result of this ingenious substitute. There are certain characteristics in the Pinoy-style spaghetti that make it truly ours:Â
- 1Â Banana ketchup or a sweetened tomato sauce is used to create that distinct flavor and taste.Â
- 2Â Hotdogs are used instead of meatballs.Â
- 3Â The spaghetti is not al dente.Â
The easiest Pinoy-style spaghetti recipe you can make at home is to mix banana ketchup, ground meat, and hotdogs tossed with spaghetti noodles. You have the liberty to add other ingredients, such as spices, to make it to your taste. Â
If you love your sweet-style spaghetti, this is how to cook spaghetti sauce recipes that have been inspired by this Pinoy-style spaghetti:Â

This cheesy version of the Pinoy-style spaghetti doesn't just top a bowl of spaghetti with cheese.

4 HotDog Meatballs Spaghetti RecipeÂ
Do you have kids (or kids at heart) to feed at home? The hotdogs are meant to help make it a kiddie-friendly version of the spaghetti. If you want a great compromise of hotdogs and meatballs, why not combine the two into a hotdog meatball that will satisfy both the adults who want their meat and the kids who love their hotdogs? Â
To prepare the hotdogs for making into meatballs, a quick run through a hand-cranked mini chopper, the blender, or the bigger food processor is what you'll need. If you don't have any of these handy tools, just finely chop the hot dogs as much as possible using your knife. You just need the hotdogs as chunky as the ground meat you're going to be mixing it into. These hotdogs are going to be a favorite in your home, we predict!      Â
