A Little Spaghetti Talk

Here in the Philippines most of the time, the term spaghetti, automatically means spaghetti in sweet tomato sauce with ground pork and hotdogs. That is the de kahon image that comes into mind whenever someone says "Gusto ko mag-spaghetti!"  Filipino spaghetti is probably a tweaked version of bolognese. Spaghetti is actually the noodle. It is that type of pasta resembling a thin string which is actually its direct translation from the Italian word spaghetto.

Spaghetti is my favorite of all. I had my phase of angel hair pasta which did not last for so long. I also tried some linguine, fettuccine, fusilli, penne, those little bow-shaped ones and so on but I just keep coming back to spaghetti.

I personally like oil based sauce with some sardines or anchovies, half-cooked garlic, basil, and a hint of lemon. I could repeatedly eat it for days.

I do whip up some recipes at home and will try to post them some other time.
