Meanwhile, prepare the hot dog buns. Make a v-shaped slit on top of the buns then cut it out to make a cavity to place the pasta later. Set it aside.
Boil water in a large pot. Salt the water and start cooking spaghetti for 10-12 minutes (or follow the instructions on the package.) Reserve the pasta cooking water.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the rest. Heat up a frying pan at medium high heat. Pour extra virgin olive oil. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, add green bell pepper and corn. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium and add ketchup and pasta cooking water (start with 2 tbsp then use more if necessary.) Mix well and continue to simmer until the pasta is done.
Drain the spaghetti then transfer to the sauce. Give a quick toss. Set it aside.
Toast the buns for 5-7 minutes. Take them out the oven and smear butter inside of the toasted buns.
Put the spaghetti in the cavity of the buns. Garnish with minced parsley (optional) and add a few dashes of tabasco sauce for a kick (optional.)
