From Denny: This is such an unusual idea - and - easy! What a spectacularly simple way to create a lot of inexpensive gourmet food for a crowd. I can just see this cooking over a tail-gating fire at a local football game. Oh, the wonderful smells... :)Here's the video link as The Today Show is doing a special holiday guide of particular videos that are not available for embedding and this happens to be one of them: Spaghetti in Foil.
