Ingredients
Method
8 mins prep20 mins cook28 mins total
Add pasta, chopped tomatoes, hotdog slices, oregano, sugar, and water (or stock) to a large pot.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer.
Cook for 12 to 16 minutes, stirring often, until pasta is tender and the liquid reduces into a tomato sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Lower the heat and stir through most of the grated cheddar until melted and glossy.
Top with the remaining cheddar and serve hot.
Notes
Stir regularly after the first 8 minutes so the pasta does not catch at the bottom.
Add extra hot water in small splashes if the pan dries before the pasta is cooked.
For a looser, saucier finish, stir in 2–3 tablespoons water just before serving.
