Day 7: Your Favorite Food and Recipe

Ever since I was a little kid, I've had many favorite foods. But only one of these dishes lasted all these years: Spaghetti. Growing up in America, I found the taste buds of Pinoys different from what was available there. Whenever I had pasta at a restaurant, it would be Italian style, rich in herbs and other stuff that tickled my taste buds. But I, on the other hand, prefer the sweetness found in Filipino style Spaghetti. My mom taught me when I was little that if I want something, I have to learn how to get it myself. For food, I have to learn how to cook it. Since my mom just taught me how to make spaghetti (her own recipe) the ingredients are just estimates, so it's all up to you how much of what you want to put. :D

Ingredients:

• Spaghetti 
• Ground pork 
• Tomato sauce 
• Banana ketchup 
• Onions 
• Garlic 
• Salt & Pepper 
• Hotdogs 

To make the sauce, start off by heating some oil and cooking the onions and garlic until the onions become semi-clear and the garlic becomes golden brown. Add in the ground pork and season with salt and pepper. Add in some sliced hotdogs for the Pinoy feel. Once the pork is cooked, add in A LOT of tomato sauce and banana ketchup. Stir well and let the sauce simmer.

For the pasta itself, just cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package. You can also add some cheese to top off the meal. And there you have it, Pinoy-style spaghetti. :)
