Growing up in our Filipino household, I have been cooking and eating this since I was a kid and learned to cook. This Pinoy sweet-style spaghetti, pancit bihon, and chicken adobo is always on the menu for every birthday, Christmas, new year, and just any party.

Why You Will Love This

This Jollibee Spaghetti Recipe has the perfect balance of sweetness and lots of meaty and cheesy tomato sauce that you will surely fall in love with.

It is cost-effective, and you can feed a lot of hungry folks and crowds at a lower cost. You might need to double up on this recipe if you are providing it to a big gathering since I guarantee it will be a big hit on the table before you know it.

This signature style of Filipino Spaghetti is tasty, hearty, and satisfying. Its unique style makes it the most requested pasta dish of all.

Ingredients

  • Spaghetti Pasta
  • Garlic, Onion, and Bell Pepper – For aroma and flavors.
  • Ground Beef – One of the key ingredients to making the red sauce tasty and savory is ground beef. You can use ground pork as a substitute, but I prefer beef for more flavor.
  • Red hotdogs – Jollibee spaghetti always has some diagonally sliced red hot dogs to add more chunky texture and flavor goes really well with banana ketchup sauce.
  • Banana ketchup, Tomato Paste, and Tomato Sauce – These are the 3 main ingredients to make our spaghetti saucy. Although you can use a Filipino-style spaghetti sauce in a packet, I love to make my own with the right balance of sweetness.
  • All-purpose cream – This is optional, but I highly recommend it if you want a creamy sauce. Evaporated milk or heavy whipping cream will work too.
  • Cheese – It won’t be complete without some cheesy goodness.

How to make Jollibee Spaghetti

The steps are simple and easy to follow. It is similar to making the popular spaghetti bolognese.

  1. Boil enough water using a large saucepan and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. You can usually see it at the back of the bag. Save a cup of the pasta water and drain the excess using a colander.
  2. In a skillet with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, fry the hot dogs for 3-5 minutes. Make sure to stir them to avoid burning. Take them out and set them aside.
  3. In the same pan, saute the garlic, onion, and bell pepper until translucent and aromatic. Then add the ground beef, salt, and black pepper, and stir everything together with a spatula. Be sure to break the ground beef into bite-size pieces. Let the meat cook until tender and lightly brown.
  4. Pour the banana ketchup, tomato paste, tomato sauce, pasta water, and sugar, and mix everything. Let it bring to a gentle boil and lower the heat to simmer for about 30-45 minutes or until the sauce is thickened. Be sure to cover with a lid.
  5. Add the hot dogs back and mix in your all-purpose cream or evaporated milk; stir everything to combine. Add more seasoning according to your taste. Turn off the heat. Serve and enjoy!

Two ways to serve spaghetti

  2. On each plate, place a serving of pasta then pour enough sauce on top of the pasta. Don’t forget to add cheese before eating. Enjoy!

      Hi Aja! Thanks for the comment. How much bell pepper did you add? If you didn’t like adding bell pepper, next time just skip it.
