Filipino-style, low carb, keto-friendly spaghetti.
What is Filipino Spaghetti?
Filipino spaghetti is a sweet, spaghetti sauce with hotdogs and cheese. Yes, it’s a thing – and even sold at McDonald’s and Jollibee in the Philippines – thing!
A childhood favorite that remains a comfort food til this day. Even my kids love it!
How do you make Filipino Spaghetti?
The steps to Filipino spaghetti is similar to making regular spaghetti. However, the addition of banana ketchup, hotdogs and cheese are what makes this dish unique. Unfortunately, banana ketchup is not keto-friendly, so I’ve made a few adjustments to satisfy that Keto Filipino spaghetti craving.
