*OK, so they weren't really flying. Except when Isaac threw one after he decided he was done. But I digress...I first found this idea as just a picture on the internet. I'm sure the picture was from a recipe somewhere, but I didn't see the recipe. On the other hand, the picture wasn't that complicated. A box of spaghetti, a package of hot dogs, and voila! I decided to make it with smoked turkey sausages and it was every bit as easy as it looked. Not to mention ridiculously fun to make. And eat.
Flying Spaghetti Monsters
Ingredients:
- 1/2 box of spaghetti
- 1 package of sausages or hot dogs
- Marinara sauce (optional)
Directions:
- Cut the sausages into quarters.
- Break the spaghetti in half.
- Gleefully impale each piece of sausage with as many pieces of spaghetti as you want.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and follow the cooking directions for the spaghetti.
- Drain and serve!
Notes:
We didn't have any marinara sauce, but they were still pretty good. The sausage gave the water a lot of flavor, which was partially absorbed by the spaghetti. Isaac absolutely loved them, and I think they'll be a lot of fun to make with him when he gets a little bit older.
These are crazy cool!!!!!!

And now we know who has been Touched by His Noodle-y Greatness...
Alas--I do not think this would work with GF pasta.
