Pinoy Spaghetti

Pinoy Spaghetti
Pinoy Spaghetti, have you wondered why our spaghetti is totally different with the Italian spaghetti or any other spaghetti. It is sweet and with a tinge of spiciness. It has something to do with our love of sweet foods, especially with food cooked in tomato sauce.

    When I cook this type of spaghetti (where we mix the pasta and sauce), I try to make the sauce a little more watery than usual because after some time that the pasta is sitting in the sauce, it will absorb some of the moisture, leaving it at perfect consistency in a few hours. Once, i tried mixing a rich sauce on some pasta; it was cooked at lunch time and by dinner time before serving it, it was so dry.

    Hi joceph, I agree the best, do not mix in the sauce until ready to serve. Thanks for the helpful tip and advice…

    Hi Rita,
    Yes you can also use tomato paste instead of tomato sauce, just remember that tomato paste is more concentrated.
