This version of spaghetti is quite different from the well-known Italian recipe. It's a mixture of sweet and sour and bit creamy from the ketchup. It's a little bit odd but it is, a ketchup in a spaghetti. I add some grated carrots and bell pepper too for tastier and healthier options. You can add mince meat of your choice also but in this recipe I only used chicken hotdogs. Kids surely love this.
Ingredients:
500g pack spaghetti
250g hotdogs or frankfurters
half a cup of ketchup
half cup of tomato sauce
2 tbsp of tomato paste
Half cup of water
1 medium size carrot (grated)
1 medium size bell pepper (grated)
1 onion finely chopped
3 pips of garlic finely chopped
1 tbsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated cheese for garnish
In pot, cook spaghetti in boiling water according to package's direction for about 7 to 9 minutes or until al dente. In a saucepan, heat oil. Add chopped onions and garlic, sliced hotdogs and cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is translucent. Add carrots and bell pepper, stir in nicely. Pour all the tomato sauce, ketchup and paste. Stir, then add the water. Cover and let it boil for few minutes until it thickens a bit, stirring occasionally. Lastly add in all the sugar and season to taste, then stir in the pasta and incorporate nicely. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the sauce. Serve, topped with grated Parmesan ( any cheese you like)..
Enjoy 😊
