I used to make it frequently for my kids. Aside from Adobo, Filipino Spaghetti is yet another dish that is making a name out there. A local giant fast-food chain that serves this sweet Filipino Spaghetti on their menu. I know it sounds like a nightmare to Italians but, you know, sweet pasta sauce, well… it's an acquired taste, I suppose. Interesting and tasty, spaghetti dishes are abundant.
