It's Throwback Thursday and tonight one of my favorite shows is on TV... The Big Bang Theory.
I am a big fan of the show, but what does Spaghetti with Hot Dogs have to do with a TV show? Well one of the characters on the show (Sheldon) who is a genius has a favorite childhood meal... Spaghetti with Hot Dogs.
They have mentioned this dish twice since I have watched the show and I had to try it out. I made my version here... and to tell you the truth... It was great. :) You can use what ever kind of hot dogs you like: beef, chicken, pork or even tofu. Just spend a little extra money and get a good quality hot dog that is made with good ingredients.
This is a great week night one pot dinner that comes together fast. I also highly recommend the raw garnish of onions and peppers. It compliments the meal perfectly.

Ingredients:
1 box spaghetti cooked to al dente in well salted water. ( I actually used linguine)
Hot Dog Spaghetti Sauce:
1 packet of hot dogs (I used good quality all beef hot dogs with no nitrates)
1 medium onion chopped (save some for garnish)
1 green bell pepper chopped (save some for garnish)
1 large jar of prepared spaghetti sauce (ie.. Ragu, Prego etc...)
2 cloves garlic grated
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sugar- if needed
red chili flakes to taste
salt and black pepper to taste
2Tbs canola oil
Garnish: Diced bell pepper, onions, Parmesan cheese
