I sliced the hot dogs and the kids helped me thread uncooked spaghetti noodles through each hot dog. I discovered through much trial and error (if there is such a thing in a meal like this!), 6 spaghetti noodles is the perfect amount for each hot dog slice. The kids did get frustrated a couple times because the spaghetti would break, but we would just thread them through like it was nothing.
An close-up shot of the hot dogs with the spaghetti noodles threaded all the way through. Once they were all threaded, I dumped them in a pot of boiling, unsalted water. I didn't salt it, because hot dogs have enough sodium in them. I let them boil for about 12 minutes...it takes longer because of the hot dogs.
Once the spaghetti noodles were soft enough, I drained them, put them back in the pan and but a little spray butter on them, mainly for a little flavor. I also cute up some grape tomatoes and topped with Parmesan cheese.
My kids LOVED it! They wanted seconds. Definitely something we will be making for lunch again. HUGE recommendation for anyone with kids! They will LOVE it.

Wow! This is TOO cool!!! Love it!!
You should try them! I will admit, I ate some...how could I not with how cool they look? You could even put some marinara sauce on them and they would be good.
