Follow The Directions

01

Step
12 mins

In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti, ensuring it's fully submerged, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander.

02

Step
13 mins

While the pasta cooks, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the ground beef and pork, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes.

03

Step
15 mins

Pour in the spaghetti sauce, banana ketchup, sugar, and water. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.

04

Step
5 mins

Incorporate the sliced hot dogs into the sauce and continue to cook until they are heated through, approximately 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

05

Step
0 mins

Serve the Filipino Spaghetti hot, spooning the savory-sweet sauce over the al dente pasta. Garnish generously with shredded Cheddar cheese for a final touch of creamy richness.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of fish sauce or a dash of soy sauce to the sauce. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of your banana ketchup. A sprinkle of toasted breadcrumbs can add a delightful textural contrast to the finished dish.
