Threaded Spaghetti Hot Dogs

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

Units Scale
  • 1/2 pound thin spaghetti,* broken in half
  • 8 kosher beef 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.
