Filipino Spaghetti
Filipino cooking has had a tradition of cooking a foreign dish but substituting ingredients available in the market and suiting the taste to the Filipino palate. Our version of the Italian spaghetti is sweeter than the original, uses canned processed meat and employs cheddar cheese instead of the traditional Parmesan.
