Smothered in cheese, slathered in ketchup, or heaped high with chilli, the hot dog is one of our all-time faves. We all know the chicken sausage used to make the Hot Dog is known as Frankfurter. But do you know that the term “frankfurter” derives from the fact that a famous hot dog-like sausage was invented in Frankfurt, Germany? After this, it gradually became so popular in America that it is now the most sought-after food there. Not only abroad but the hot dog is equally popular in India as well. So, today, we have a delicious Hot dog Spaghetti Recipe for you.
Spaghetti with Hot Dogs
Tad Dorgon, a sports cartoonist for the New York Times, is credited for naming hot dogs. Before its present enigmatic moniker, hot dogs were known as red hots’ or ‘dachshund sausages.’ When merchants at the New York Polo Grounds yelled, “They’re red hot! Get your dachshund sausages while they’re still piping hot!”, noted the artist, who sketched barking dachshund sausages in a warm roll. He couldn’t spell “dachshund,” so he just typed “hot dog!”. This cartoon became a viral phenomenon, and the phrase “hot dog” was invented. Even though historians have been unable to locate a copy of the cartoon, the phrase was already in use in the twentieth century.
Hot Dog Spaghetti Recipe
Ensure you have the best quality spaghetti that goes well with the chicken sausages for making hot dog spaghetti. Another point to get the flavours out of the spaghetti is by preparing the sauce at home. You can easily prepare the spaghetti sauce with crushed tomatoes simmered with onion, and garlic over a saucepan in extra virgin olive oil. You may season it with black pepper and salt and add herbs like paprika, oregano, parsley, or basil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until you get the desired thickness and there you get your homemade spaghetti sauce.
However, the most essential element in this recipe would be the frankfurters. You can add any sauce of your choice but just any frankfurter will not work for the dish. So, how to obtain the perfect frankfurter? Read the next section to find your solution.
