The Filipino style or Pinoy-style Spaghetti is a unique adaptation of the famous Spaghetti and Meatballs dish in other countries. It is made of spaghetti pasta which is partnered with a tomato-based sauce. Contrary to the more popular use of meatballs, this dish is partnered with ground beef or pork, red hotdogs, red bell peppers, and sweeteners such as banana ketchup or evaporated milk. Since this is popular in the Philippines, there are tomato or spaghetti sauces specifically made to be partnered with this sweet style of pasta.
