Filipino Style Spaghetti

In the Philippines, there is a variation of the pasta recipe which is fondly referred to as Filipino Style Spaghetti. It is different from the regular Italian spaghetti recipe in that its flavor profile is approaching sweetness instead of sour. Very interesting pasta recipe which I think would also be nice to have for variation of the regular pasta.

Ingredients:

1 kg. Pasta (prepared according to package directions)

1 bulb Garlic, minced

1 pc. Onion, large, thinly sliced

¼ kg Ground pork

¼ kg Chicken breast fillet, cut into small cubes

¼ kg Cheesedogs, cut into thin bite sized pieces

1 cup All purpose cream

1 cup Cheddar cheese (grated)

¼ cup Premium soy sauce

1 tsp. Black pepper powder

1 tsp. Iodized salt

¼ cup Sugar

2 cups Tomato sauce

3 cups Banana catsup

4 cups Water

2 tbsp. Cooking oil

Cooking Instructions:

In a large bowl, place the cooked and drained pasta and add the cream. Toss well to distribute the cream on the pasta, set aside.

In a large saucepan, heat the cooking and oil and sauté the garlic and onion until the garlic is golden brown and the onion starts to caramelize. Add the hotdogs and stir. Continue cooking until it is cooked and then add the ground pork and the cubed chicken. Stir and continue cooking until the meat has changed to a blanched color and liquid has evaporated to dryness. Add the black pepper, salt, soy sauce, and grated cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and is distributed evenly in the cooking mixture. Add the water and boil. Once it starts to boil, add the tomato sauce and the ketchup, cover and lower the heat to maintain a gentle boil. Continue cooking for about twenty minutes more. Add the pasta coated with the cream and enjoy with your favorite beer. Goes well also with garlic bread.
