However, it turns out that the dish isn't that odd at all.
According to Yahoo, Delish and a little internet sleuthing, it seems Ivanka took a page out of the Filipino cookbook.

It's a Filipino dish that's commonly served at children's birthday parties. A salty and sweet combo, if you will.
Ivanka jokingly captioned the shot, "Keeping it healthy."
Another form of the dish calls for Filipino hot dogs and marshmallows, served with spaghetti in a sauce of sweet banana ketchup and condensed milk, according to Yahoo.
Ivanka did serve spaghetti, but it looks like it's got marinara sauce instead.
Birthday tradition-- noodles for a long life! 🍝
