Ms. Mofet's Hot Dog, Tomato & Onion Sauce
≈5 servings
1 lb. Hot dogs (≈16 oz.)(*See note below)
1 large onion (≈1 C./≈8 oz.)
1 stick butter (≈4 oz.)
1 (6 oz. can) tomato paste
1 C. water (≈8 oz.), more if necessary - use pasta water
1/2 C. burgundy wine (≈4 oz.)
Ground peppercorns - to taste
Ground red pepper flakes - to taste
Salt (ONLY if necessary) - to taste
1/2 lb. Small Pasta shells ( or other small Pasta)
Slice hot dogs into thin coins
Slice onions thin
Place butter, onions & hot dogs in pan
Sauté till the hot dogs puff up and onions are soft
Add tomato paste and stir well to break up paste
Add water and wine; stir well
Bring to boil for 2 minutes; lower to a simmer for 10 minutes or until flavor melds and hot dogs take on the other flavors.
Taste and season with ground peppercorns, ground red pepper flakes (salt if needed)
Cook pasta in salted water according to box directions minus 2 minutes.
Drain pasta (save some pasta water to thin sauce if needed) and add to pan with hot dog sauce.
Cook pasta in sauce till tender to your liking.
*Note: I used Nathan's skinless, bigger than the bun beef franks.
Pasta cooked in sauce
Other serving options: you can serve hot dog tomato sauce over pasta
or serve in a bowl with crusty bread to dip.
