Pinoy Pineapple Fiesta Ham Spaghetti

Pinoy Pineapple Fiesta Ham Spaghetti. Should you have some left over pineapple fiesta ham last Christmas and looking for a dish for the coming New Year’s celebrations, here is a spaghetti recipe to recycle those left over ham for New Year’s Media Noche. One of our non-Filipino Facebook friends has commented our version, the Pinoy version of spaghetti taste like candy.

The Pinoy spaghetti really do taste like candy, it is sweet with little sourness and hotness. Today’s Pinoy Pineapple Fiesta Ham Spaghetti will also taste like candy that’s what most Pinoy wanted especially the children’s.

Cooking the dish is very simple any newbie cook can make it and can never go wrong. Cooking just involved the basic Pinoy sautéing of the aromatic ingredients then the usual adding of sauces.

Here is the recipe of my Pinoy Pineapple Fiesta Ham Spaghetti.

1 kilo spaghetti noodles, cooked as per package instructions
1/2 kilo Fiesta Ham, cut into slices then cut into squares
