Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the onions and sauté until they are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Cook the tomatoes for 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Add one cup water, salt, parsley and hot dogs. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Simmer until the tomatoes are soft and become incorporated into the sauce.
