Filipino Style Spaghetti




How To Cook Filipino Style Spaghetti

Filipino Style Spaghetti -  Spaghetti is our version of the yummy Jollibee Spaghetti that everyone loves. The outcome of this recipe is a sweet delicious spaghetti that both kids and kids-at-heart will like.
This Jollibee Style Spaghetti recipe does not use any fancy ingredients. Just like any other spaghetti, this makes use of ground meat (pork), and a tomato based sauce (sweet Filipino style). The red juicy hotdogs and minced ham are important because it gives this dish a distinct flavor and appeal. The quickmelt cheese on top also helps to make the spaghetti have a richer flavor.
The secret in making a tasty spaghetti such as this is to simmer the sauce for a longer period. By doing this, all the flavor from the meat are extracted; it also releases lycopene from the tomato sauce. This is an anti-oxidant compound present in tomatoes.
