Making Flavorful Spaghetti Pinoy-Style

Spaghetti Pinoy-Style

1 onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 can spam (diced)
hotdogs (sliced)
800g ground pork (15% fat)
salt & (plenty of) pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup sugar
1.5 liter tomato sauce
3 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup banana catsup (optional)
beef broth (optional)

Spaghetti pasta (cooked per instructions)
shredded cheese


1. Sauté the hotdogs and spam until cooked. Set aside.

2. Add 2 tbsp cooking oil, then add the ground pork. Stir and cook until browned and the liquids have evaporated.

3. Stir the pork to the side, and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant, then mix into the pork.

4. With a hand-held food processor, finely minced the ground pork.

5. Add the 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp ground black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp salt. Mix well.

6. Add 3 tbsp tomato paste and 1.5 liter tomato sauce. Mix very well, then set to a low simmer for about 45 minutes, mixing slightly every 10 minutes to reduce burning at the bottom of the pan.

7. Add the hotdogs and spam, then set to a medium simmer for another 15 minutes.

8. Serve over cooked pasta and top with shredded cheese.

NOTE: Alternatively, if you don't have a hand-held mixer, manually separate the raw pork prior to cooking with a knife, as cooking the pork before separating them makes them stick into large clumps. Finely mince the garlic and onions if using this method.
