Can anyone share successful attempts to "Filipinize" pasta dishes? I love pasta and I cook pasta dishes a lot (to the point that I sometimes make the pasta myself) and I've always wanted to bridge the gap of Italian cooking to the Filipino palate. Let's not include the "spaghetti alla ketchup" that pinoys always make for birthday parties. I once told an Italian guest we had about Filipinos using ketchup to make spaghetti and the only thing he said was, "That's a crime." Anyway, any successful or not so successful attempts on putting a distinctly Filipino twist on a traditional Italian recipe?
