GET OUT THE PASTA
YUMMY FUN FOR KIDS TO HELP WITH!
Who knew that sticking raw spaghetti through a hot dog could result in a fun-to-eat kid-friendly dinner idea!
All you need for this fun spaghetti recipe are hot dogs and spaghetti. I like to use whole wheat spaghetti and kielbasa sausage instead of hot dogs and add Cajun seasoning for an extra zing.WHAT DO I NEED?

LET THE FUN BEGIN
Once you have your ingredients, boil a large pot of water and get ready to prep your hot dog noodle bites.
This is the part that kids love!
After you’ve sliced your bun-length hot dogs into quarters, let your kids stuff them with the dry, uncooked noodles. We usually use 5 noodles per hot dog piece, but you can add more for a bigger portion.EASY PEASY STUFF
INSTRUCTIONS
