Fun with Food

Someone on Facebook had posted a link to a photo of hot dog pasta. It looked so weird that I had to try it for a pot luck, which I went to last night.

You start by poking the pasta through the hot dog pieces.

Then you cook until al dente.

I made a simple sauce (onions, oregano, parsley and stewed tomatoes) and threw it on before going to the party. The pasta was actually a bit undercooked (because I was worried that the hot dog pieces were going to split up too much), but by adding the semi-watery sauce, it finished cooking in the container.


People thought it was cool. So did I. And actually, it tasted quite good! Try it!

The before shot looks weird and unappetizing, but it looks delicious in the second shot!

When I make spaghetti, I use smoked sausage instead of meatballs. It's so good. I've just never tried pasta IN smoked sausage! :)
