Ingredients

1/2 package spaghetti (whole wheat spaghetti for extra fiber!)
8 veggie, turkey or beef hot dogs
2 cups tomato or marinara sauce

Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Cut each hot dog into 3-4 even pieces (depending on the size of your hot dog).
Break the spaghetti in half into 4-5 inch pieces. Carefully poke the spaghetti pieces through the hot dog pieces lengthwise, creating a “spaghetti hair” effect.
Drop the Freaky Franks into the boiling water and cook for 10-11 minutes until the spaghetti is tender. Drain the water.
Serve the Freaky Franks with a side of tomato sauce for dipping. You can also pour the sauce over the top for a messier (and more "gory") presentation!

Notes

Poking the spaghetti: It can be a little tricky to poke the dry spaghetti through the hot dogs, so be gentle and patient. This is a great part for kids to help with!

Make-ahead option: You can prep the Freaky Franks ahead of time and refrigerate them until you're ready to cook.
