Jollibee style spaghetti is our version of the yummy Jollibee Spaghetti that everyone loves. The outcome of this recipe is a sweet delicious spaghetti that both kids and kids-at-heart will like.
This jollibee style spaghetti recipe does not use any fancy ingredients. Just like any other spaghetti, this makes use of ground meat (pork), and a tomato based sauce (sweet Filipino style). The red juicy hotdogs and minced ham are important because it gives this dish a distinct flavor and appeal. The quickmelt cheese on top also helps to make the spaghetti have a richer flavor. It reminds me of the pinoy spaghetti, which I also enjoy eating.
The secret in making a tasty spaghetti such as this is to simmer the sauce for a longer period. By doing this, all the flavor from the meat are extracted; it also releases lycopene from the tomato sauce. This is an antioxidant compound present in tomatoes.

Genevieve says
Hello, I have been watching your videos when I was still in the Philippines. I just found out that you are in the US. I just moved to the US myself and was wondering if I can ever cook Filipino food here or if the ingredients are going to be hard to find. I tried cooking simple Pinoy foods here but am very inspired by your video that I can cook kare kare here! I am inspired and in the next few weeks and months, I will cook the more complicated Pinoy recipes you recommended or featured in your website. I guess I just have to find bagoong here in the US. I will definitely try the Jollibee sphagetti since there is no Jollibee in Maryland. Thank you for showing me that cooking Pinoy food in the US is possible..I find that cooking Pinoy food makes me less home sick. Pinoy food is the best!

Reca Jane Jaranilla says

GINA says
Sir, I’m in UAE and I’ve tried your Jollibee style spag and it’s perfect. Thank you so much! I’ve been a fan. I’ll be trying your max fried chicken tonight. Do you have a recipe of rum cake? Please do post sir as Christmas is coming. Thank you
Vanjo Merano says

Danica says
Hello
I wanted to try the recipe, but not sure where can I find ingredients here in the UK.
Hotdog -- i dnt think i can get our purefoods red hotdog over here,
For the mince ham -- is that the maling? if yes then i can just mince that then.
the tomato sauce is that del monte spaghetti tomato sauce?
Many thanks!
Vanjo Merano says
Danica, the ham in this recipe refers to regular ham. you can use black forest ham, honey ham and other similar types. Ma-Ling is not ham; I think that it is referred to as luncheon meat.
Vanjo Merano says
I use Hunts.
Nin says
Hi! I’m a 23-year old nurse who don’t have the luxury of time to cook my meals. But when I do, I’d Google recipes and it would lead me to your website.
Nin says
Most of the best recipes I’ve used are yours. I especially like how simple and precise your instructions are. I barely have to tweak it to pattern my own taste buds. I love this recipe as well as your banana bread and leche flan. I have tried most of the chicken recipes as well. Thank you because of your recipes I can now (somehow) cook decent meals not just for myself but for my family. 🙂
Vanjo Merano says
I am happy for you Nin. You are welcome!
Vanjo Merano says
Merry Christmas, Dennis! Beef broth can be purchased in the grocery store.
Vanjo Merano says
Yes you can do that. Try using 1 to 1 1/2 cubes.
Vanjo Merano says
It is my pleasure, Mary Ann.

Hi!
Actually I don’t cook. I don’t even know how to cook! Last year, it was my birthday and I was looking for a pasta recipe online and this page really helped me a lot!!! I tried your Lasagna and voila!!! Everybody enjoyed my recipe!!! They were amazed cause they’re aware that I don’t know how to cook!! This day, I am planning to cook pasta again cause yesterday was my birthday. I will try your Jollibee Style Spaghetti later this afternoon and I hope everybody will love it again!!!
P.S.
Is it ok if you email me privately the brands you use because I really don’t know what to use cause again I don’t cook. I am just inspired by you so I hope you could help me with this. 🙂
Edna says
Hi! My girls loved the jolibee spaghetti. Though I made some changes to it… I didn’t use the hotdog, adjusted to 1/4 cup white sugar and used spam for the ham bec that was what’s available in my pantry but still turned out great. You helped me a lot in preparing delicious meals for my family. Kudos to you and please continue posting videos and whatever recipes you have because you never know how many moms you’ve helped around the world. May God bless you.
Vanjo Merano says
Thanks for your feedback, Edna. This information will be useful to everyone here.
As I always suggest, it is absolutely OK to tweak the recipes according to your preference, or based on the ingredients that you have at present.
Jiemary says
Since i found this site it makes my life easier i dont know how to cook before. Im very happy and started cooking at home instead of going out to eat, my husband like the way i cook filipino food. Your site is a helpul lot of choices of recipe and most of the ingredients is not hard to find..
Sheila Amor says
Thanks for the recipe im a Dietician here in ksa and a mom too jst discovered your site so far amazed by your cooking skills simple but tasteful. I just modified pork into other meat because of the unavailability of it. Thank you. GOD BLESS. .
Wen Entwistle says

Thanks Wen! I appreciate it.
eLa says
hello po! salamat for the yummy recipes ive tried cooking for my hubby and myself… were missing the jolly spag and im thinking of trying your recipe this weekend but i cant find velveeta cheese here in nz. is there another option po? pls pls pls help… thanx!
Jez says

Gerome says
Preng, if you noticed when eating at the reataurant (jollibee) their spaghetti is a bit grainy. I think pro like you will notice it too. Lasang nilagyan ng liver or liver spread. Just my observation.
Vanjo Merano says
Preng Gerome, yup I see what you mean. It looks like potted meat or just a little hint of liver spread. It can be a good exercise to everyone out there to try and see if it will taste closer if a little liver spread will be added. I will do the same and will create a new post so that everyone will benefit with the experiment.
gerome says
Instead of using sugar…might try condensed milk for creamier result.
peace:-) regards to all in IlL-Town
Keymarth says
Hi ! Goodday! Its help me a lot. Thanks for the info. Now i can cook spaghetti well.
Elmer says
Hi Vanjo! I’m from the Philippines. I regularly visit your site since 2011. The funny thing is even if I repeatedly check my favorite recipes on your site I always forgot the ingredients and the steps on how to cook it(sign of aging! Lol). Good thing is, this site maintained and always up-to-date. As of this writing I’m checking the spaghetti ala Jollibee and I will prepare this for the Noche Buena later.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Mabuhay!
Thomas says
Alright, let me be the 45th person to write a review for this sauce. IT’S WONDERFULL! I made it exactly as the recipe called for. (I like my sauce a little on the thinner side.) it turned out delicious. My boyfriend had 3 sevings. Made lasagna w/ the leftovers, and I think that was better then the spaghetti. Again my bf gorged himself, as well as I. =)
Joan says
Just ask about the instruction simmer for 60 minutes is that right i mean for an hour seriously! Thanks
Vanjo Merano says
Hi Joan. Yes, seriously 🙂 That is just my recommendation, but you can always do it your way. Simmering for a longer amount of time extracts most of the meats flavor. I would like to point out that simmering is different from boiling. To simmer means to cook in temperature that is near the boiling point, so very low heat is required.
Joyce says
Sa totoo lang, hindi ako makakapag luto kung wala ang panlasang pinoy. Every time na may request and husband ko sagot ko palagi. ” No worries ” lol. Nagulat sya na marami din akong alam na luto pero di nya alam palagi akong tumitingin sa panlansang pinoy.
Pero ngyon alam na nya… hahahah.
Thanks ulet Panlasang pinoy! 🙂
Vanjo Merano says
Joyce -- you are welcome. Tandaan mo na ikaw pa rin ang nagluto, nandito lang ako para magturo. It was all you.
gellie says
Hello sir! Can I use beef broth cubes? It’s my first time to try one of your recipes. Thanks!
Christine says
I made this recipe for Sunday spagetti dinner. Delicious! I am used to Italian spagetti,I was looking for something different and this was an awesome surprise, a wonderful change, a side of cheesy garlic bread on the side helped to get all the sweet tomato sauce! Yum and thank you for sharing!
Vanjo Merano says
You are welcome. Glad you liked it, Christine.
Nicole Ann says
So its asking for a regular packaged ham? And can i use regular hotdogs for this recipe?
Emi says
your recipes are ny favorite among all other filipino dishes recipes! GOD bless you always!
Vanjo Merano says
Thanks Emi. Merry Christmas!
H Louie says
This is a great recipe! And I always enjoy trying out many of your recipes. Living in California, I’ve cooked this for Filipino parties and it’s always a hit! The best part is we don’t always have to go out and find a store that sells banana ketchup. I can find all of these ingredients at ANY grocery store! I’ve decided I’m cooking this for a New Year’s Eve party instead of the usual pansit. Thank you thank you! 🙂
Vanjo Merano says
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated 🙂
Khay says
Hi, I wanna try this spaghetti recipe, can I use eden cheese as a substitute for velveeta cheese?
Boy Tama says
Pano po pag walang beef broth okay lang ba? Nakalimutan ko bumili ahahahah
Ivy says
-hi
This site is really helpful. I even shared it to others when they ask for recipes. I even Learned to cook my favorite pork menudo here for the first time.. Thanks 🙂
I’m not fan of spaghetti so i didn’t even try to learn how to cook so im confused
-do i need to use beef broth.. Im not familiar with this actually btw im in uae so cautious to buy something like that, can i use water?
Vanjo Merano says
Thanks for trying the menudo recipe. Glad that it went well.
Seems like you are now interested in making your own spaghetti, are you? Beef broth is an important ingredient because it provides that meaty flavor on the sauce that ground meat alone cannot give. Try to Google “beef broth” to get more information. A good substitute would be water + beef cube (bouillon). I’m not sure if pork is allowed there in UAE, but if it wont be an issue then use pork broth or even pork bouillon, just add water.
Tony Evans says
Kia ora! Thanks for this! Simple recipe for a Filipino sweet spaghetti is just what I need for this Christmas.
Cheers from New Zealand!
