But now it has evolve and different countries has their own versions. In the Philippines, we have the sweet sauce spaghetti.

I perfected this recipe by constantly trying to replicate their spaghetti and at last I (as per my daughter) perfected it. So if you want to try this sweet creamy spaghetti. Here is the recipe. Bon Chance!
