Banana spaghetti

One of our favorite books includes a story about a boy making up a dish called banana spaghetti for his mom for Mother's Day.  Every time we read it, the kids always want to make banana spaghetti.  Of course I have no idea how to do it, and I couldn't even find a recipe online, so we invented our own.  We mixed flour, salt, egg, banana, and cinnamon until it formed a dough.  Then we rolled it out really thin, cut it into strips, dried them, and boiled them.  Instead of tomato sauce, we made vanilla pudding.  It wasn't too bad.

                                           She didn't want sauce, so she just ate plain noodles.

Wow. How clever. Somehow I think Julia Child would have approved and surely, Rachel Rae would get a kick out of this. This must be how some of those crazy recipes come about in the first place.
BTW, they look really good!!
