The resulting catastrophe is a celebration of sweet, salty, and sour flavors that puncture the palate, true to a dish that is remarkably Filipino. The history of Filipino spaghetti is closely linked with the Philippines' geography, resources, and history. What sets our local version apart is the addition of sweet banana catsup and Filipino-style hotdogs to the meat sauce plus the grated cheese topping when the pasta is served. If you don't have access to banana catsup, use tomato ketchup and add a teaspoon or so of sugar to achieve that delicious balance of sweet and savory Filipino spaghetti. My husband is Filipino and really likes this spaghetti.
