Sweet Chicken Spaghetti is another version of Filipino spaghetti which makes use of ground chicken, instead of pork. This can also be prepared by consuming ground turkey breast. As you can see, Filipino style spaghetti won’t be complete without hotdogs. I added chicken hotdogs in this recipe and served it with toast.
I composed this recipe for the kids. Sure, Filipino spaghetti is good. However, not all kids (or even some adults) like having ketchup in their meal. This particular recipe only uses tomato sauce and tomato paste to prepare the base sauce.
What I like about developing a good pasta sauce (in general) is that you can apply it to any type of noodles. If my kids like to have the same dish every week, I usually use different kinds of pasta. This gives them the pleasure of enjoying the taste that they love in different forms.
