Junk Food SpaghettiI call it junk food spaghetti because only processed meat went into the sauce–hotdogs, salametti and belly bacon. It is a combination of two previous kiddie spaghetti recipes (the older recipes are here and here). Perhaps not too friendly for adults who are strictly watching the amount of fat and carbohydrates in their diet… but, hey, the kids’ parents enjoyed them as much as their children did.

I cooked the sauce two days ahead to allow all the flavors to develop. All the wonderful flavors of the salametti and the belly bacon have blended wonderfully into the sauce by the time of the dinner party. You can choose other processed meats like smoked ham, bologna or pepperoni. From experience, ths salty and highly spiced ones are best. If you anticipate little guests who inspect everything in the sauce before putting anything in their mouths, chop all the meat into very small pieces to make them unidentifiable. Well, except the hotdogs. Kids want to see those slices of hotdogs. Funny that most Filipino children don’t find spaghetti appetizing without those little circles of meat.

FInally, use the best available meat stock.

    hi ms. connie,

    instead of sugar, i usually add, condensed milk. it makes the sauce thicker and creamier. :-)
