I found this recipe when I was doing some research of Filipino recipes and this site is full of Filipino recipes that I remember as a child.  I am so excited that I am going to try to make some of them and wanted to share this recipe below. 

We ALL love spaghetti (except hubby – don’t like pasta much, but he will eat it if I make it) and its looks yummy – I love Italian food and this is quite interesting with a twist of filipino style and I can’t wait to try it!
