A very similar dish to lasagna or lasagne…This recipe belongs to the family of tomato base pasta such as Classic Spaghetti, Pinoy Spaghetti and many more….Filipinos tastebuds is more on the sweet side of the pasta rather than the authentic Italian pasta which is the sour side.

How about your spaghetti? ………..Did you know that baked spaghetti’s primary ingredients are tomatoes.
