Filipino spaghetti
Description
A distinctive feature of Filipino spaghetti is its sauce, which always includes ground meat (pork or beef), sausages, tomato sauce, and sugar. At first glance, the combination of ground meat and sausages might seem unusual, not to mention the sugar, but in reality, it results in an incredibly delicious and hearty dish with a rich aroma and pleasant sweetness. Preparing Filipino spaghetti with this sauce is no more difficult than making any other kind of spaghetti. It takes very little time, and the result is a complete meal perfect for lunch or dinner for the whole family.

Pour in the tomato sauce, add salt and pepper to taste. Keep in mind that the tomato sauce is already slightly salty, so don't overdo the salt. Add sugar to the skillet at this stage as well. If your sauce is somewhat tart, add more sugar—3–4 tablespoons. You should detect a slight sweetness. Cook for 3–4 minutes.
