Filipino spaghetti is a sweet-savory pasta dish that is a staple in Filipino cuisine. The dish is characterized by its use of ground pork, sweet-style tomato sauce, and the addition of hotdogs and sliced sausages. The pasta is typically served with grated cheese, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and a sprinkling of chopped parsley. The dish is believed to have originated in the early 20th century, when Filipino cooks began to adapt Italian spaghetti to their own tastes. Today, Filipino spaghetti can be found in restaurants and homes across the Philippines, and it is a popular dish for special occasions such as birthdays and holidays.

FILIPINO SPAGHETTI
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!

Steps:
- 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.

FILIPINO STYLE SPAGHETTI
A much sweeter version of spaghetti. This is how I like to make mine. Sometimes I add sliced mushrooms and bell peppers, too. Note: In response to a question about the recipe; Filipino food does tend to be on the heavier side, but in an attempt to lighten this dish, you can omit the sugar, or use a sugar substitute, but the banana ketchup is necessary to sweeten the sauce. You can also use ground turkey instead of ground beef, for less fat.

Tips for Making the Best Filipino-Style Spaghetti:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your spaghetti. Look for ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, and firm vegetables.
- Don't skimp on the garlic and onions: These two ingredients are essential for building flavor in Filipino-style spaghetti. Use at least 6 cloves of garlic and 1 large onion.
- Sauté the garlic and onions until they are fragrant and golden brown: This will help to release their flavor and create a delicious base for the sauce.
- Use a combination of ground beef and pork: This will give your spaghetti a richer, more complex flavor.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Add a touch of sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Serve the spaghetti with your favorite toppings: Grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and a fried egg are all popular choices.
