Marinara Sauce (Filipino Style)
INGREDIENTS:
500g macaroni pasta, cooked according to package instructions
¼ Kilogram ground beef
1 jar (907g) Italian Style Marinara Sauce (Wellsley Farms)
4 tender juicy hotdogs, sliced
1 red onion, minced
5 medium tomatoes, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 + 1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
Garlic Salt, to taste
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon Olive oil
½ cup UFC banana ketchup
1 tablespoon toasted garlic bits
1 tablespoon brown sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cook macaroni pasta according to package instructions. Drain from water, keep it warm and set aside.
In a pan, heat oil to saute garlic and onion until fragrant. Toss in the ground beef and cook it until brown. Add in the sliced hotdogs and let it cook.
Season with garlic salt, pepper, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce. Toss it well until the beef becomes crumbled.
Pour in one jar of Italian Style Marinara sauce, and fresh chopped tomatoes. Bring it to a boil and just let it simmer to soften the tomatoes.
Then add in the banana ketchup, sugar and mix it well.
This time it’s time for you to adjust the final taste. I added 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce. I seasoned it with dried basil leaves and garlic salt. (The ground pepper plays a vital role in the final taste) so adjust the taste as needed.
Lastly, sprinkle it with some toasted garlic bits, mix it and turn off heat. Serve with macaroni pasta and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Pair it with toasted bread in melted butter, garlic salt.
