Cheesy Pork in Creamy Tomato Sauce

I am a home cook and not exactly a pro in the kitchen.  But, when it comes to cooking for my family and close friends - I cook with all my heart. I.just.love.to.cook.

This recipe I concocted is a twist from the Pinoy Menudo.  We love Menudo so much but for this recipe, I created it with some more Pinoy Spaghetti with creamy, cheesy sauce that my kids love!

You can use tomato sauce for this (or even a can of stewed tomatoes - yummy!), but I am very cautious on the sodium content of food eversince my husband had hypertension.

So, I opted to the less sodium but a bit more sour tomato paste. If you find it a bit more sour for your taste, you can balance it out with a tbsp. of brown sugar or choose tomato sauce or a can of stewed tomatoes.

I hope you'll enjoy this recipe as much as I and my kiddos did.  Btw, please don't forget to view my Instagram video about this here: https://instagram.com/p/zQ-lo7TJvF/ and, please like it, if you did. :)
