sauce is replaced with Banana catchup, which makes the sauce
sweeter. You may see someone pouring catchup on his spaghetti,
don't be surprised. He is just trying to "sweeten" it. I do this
sometimes :). Our neighbor like it so sweet that they add
condensed milk in the sauce (no kidding!).
Besides being sweet, what makes Pinoy Spaghetti special is the
presence of hotdog, along with ground pork or corned beef.
In kiddie parties, your dish is not "special" if hotdog is missing in it.
Pinoy Spaghetti is also commonly served with the pasta and sauce
already mixed.
There are many variations in cooking Pinoy Spaghetti but my
favorite is my Dad's. I requested him to cook for us last
Father's Day. He agreed as long as I provide his favorite
San Mig Lite Beer.

Hey Ela, I can see where someone would like a sweet spaghetti like this. You know, here in the states, a lot of Italian people won't eat pasta with tomato sauce unless the tomatoes have enough sweetness to lend the sauce! I won't either (smile). This looks delish and I hope your Dad liked it with his beer...
Wow - I never thought of ketchup on my pasta, but I'm willing to try anything at least once. Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights.
I love filipino spaghetti. My daddy is the only person willing to make it for me :D
