A much sweeter version of spaghetti. This is how I like to make mine. Sometimes I add sliced mushrooms and bell peppers, too. Note: In response to a question about the recipe; Filipino food does tend to be on the heavier side, but in an attempt to lighten this dish, you can omit the sugar, or use a sugar substitute, but the banana ketchup is necessary to sweeten the sauce. You can also use ground turkey instead of ground beef, for less fat.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb spaghetti noodles
26 ounces spaghetti sauce (I like Prego or Rinaldi brand)
12 ounces jufran banana ketchup (usually easy to find in the Asian grocery aisle)
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
6 hot dogs
4 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup onion, diced
1 cup carrot, diced into cubes
1/8 cup sugar (optional)
1 bay leaf
grated cheese, of your choice (anything that melts nicely)
olive oil, for cooking
water, for cooking pasta
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1
Cook the noodles as per package direction. Drain and rinse. Set aside.
2
Slice the hot dogs on the bias (diagonally) and nuke them til cooked, about 1-2 minutes depending on your microwave.
3
Heat some oil. Saute garlic and onions. Then add in the meat. Cook till brown. Season with some salt and pepper.
4
Pour in the spaghetti sauce, banana ketchup, sugar, bay leaf and water.
5
Mix and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it gets thick and red.
6
Add in the hot dogs last. Mix and just let the hot dogs heat through. Sauce is done!
7
Top the noodles with the warm sauce. Sprinkle with quick melt cheese!

I have seen this recipe before and I keep thinking about how unhealthy it seems. Is there a way to lighten it up because I would try it if there were. It seems very unusual which interests me.
