In Cincinnati, there is a phenomenon called Spaghetti with Chili Sauce. I know, on first glance, it is horrid and wrong – however – that is until you taste it. Skyline Chili is one of the most famous versions in – however, it has been a comfort food in the homes of home cooks for generations.
Recently, a friend at work Laura Popadich and I started talking about food. She gave me a recipe Vermicelli with Chili Sauce – well, after reviewing the recipe – I found it strangely close to the Skyline version and I got excited to try it again.
Here is my version of the recipe provided to me by my friend/co-worker:
