With my upbringing, I was introduced to the distinctive tastes of Filipino cuisine from a young age. One of my most memorable dishes growing up is this spaghetti dish that I can still conjure up the taste of just thinking about it. It was only fairly recently that I realised it was a Filipino version of the spaghetti Bolognese. I just knew it as a sweet spaghetti dish that I could not get enough of when I was younger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was thinking of stuff to make for my little one, I began to think back on what I liked to eat as a child and thought of ways of introducing it to the little man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authentic recipe of a Filipino spaghetti uses banana ketchup amongst other things. I only had store cupboard stuff that day so I played around with it and have managed to recreate that taste using nothing more than brown sugar (and not much of it). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re feeding older kiddies and not needing to hide vegetables in, it’s a great party dish in a massive bowl to share – that’s certainly how I remember it. The gems of smoky frankfurters and that deliciously sweet tang of a sauce. Yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is definitely a firm favourite for our little one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, this recipe avoids the use additional seasoning and the flavour comes from sauteing your ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
