Frankfurters and Noodles

Doesn't "Frankfurters and Noodles" sound fancier than Hotdogs in spaghetti?  Well, that's what I made last night!  I found a great recipe in my Culinary Institute of America cookbook that took hot dogs to the next level!  They were cooked in onion and tomatoes with Italian spices and then added to the pasta.  I was a little skeptical, but it turned out really good!  Who knew?

Hot dogs, onions, and spices!

The finished product!
