This Filipino-style spaghetti recipe is one of our family’s most trusted and tested recipes. My mom has continued improving and evolving the recipe over the years that we were growing up. She told us that spaghetti was the first dish that she cooked.
The difference between Filipino-style spaghetti and Italian spaghetti is that the Filipino style is more on the sweet side. There are also more ingredients. Hotdog or sausage is usually used over meatballs. There are so many different variations of spaghetti, and this is ours.
