Servings: 8
Calories: 230kcal
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.
