Threaded Spaghetti Hot Dogs

Serve your spaghetti in hot dogs! Grandchildren love helping thread the spaghetti through the hot dogs. These are also known as Noodle Weenies.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound thin spaghetti,* broken in half
• 8 hot dogs, cut into 6 even pieces
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Spaghetti sauce (optional)
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Have ready a large pot of boiling water.
2. Thread 5 to 7 spaghetti strands through each hot dog piece. Cook until pasta is al dente, about 6 minutes.
3. Drain spaghetti and mix with the butter.
4. Serve as is, with the butter, or in bowls with spaghetti sauce, if desired, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Thin spaghetti must be used. It is the size between regular spaghetti and angel hair pasta.
