Spaghetti

Spaghetti is one of my family's favorite aside from pancit. In fact during most occasions especially birthdays, we always have these 2 great menus. Last Sunday was my aunt's birthday and we had pancit and spaghetti on the table. Guess what? It was the spaghetti which was gone first. The kids as well as the adults love it except my hubby. He doesn't eat spaghetti.
