Spaghetti Filipino style is very different, in a sense that its sweet, yeah.. sweet and peppery.. I can't describe exactly the taste. Lets say, it's a chaos combination of sweet, spicy, creamy with the taste of tomato sauce and ketchup... yeah ketchup. I used to cook spaghetti ( a lot..) when my kids are younger but they moved on and they got tired of it. When we started to live here, I experimented a lot in the kitchen. Then I continued to mix and match. In the end, a new combination will come out. Like I said, one should not be afraid to try to cook with a little of this and that.. the usual way that you knew, incorporate it with new ones and oh how I love it... I think that I will grow old and I will die...baking, cooking and experimenting... lol!
Who wont like Spaghetti? I love it... but I'm choosy and you know the kind of feeling that you think first before you eat cause somehow you doubt if it's cooked the way you like it. Yes, I'm that kind of person. I don't know..its just me.. I'm being me and I believe there are others like me, I am not alone...cheers to that! My quest for my perfect spaghetti sauce took me a lot of time and I cooked with different combinations but I always ended up not satisfied. Several months ago, I saw this spaghetti sauce recipe and I tried it. Of course I applied my fusion technique, the Filipino way and the new one. Oh I must have been so lucky cause I discovered the real spaghetti sauce for me and my family.Yes!.. now I can rest with my quest...
