Bloody Eyeball Pasta
Here's a scary Halloween recipe for "Bloody Eyeball Pasta":
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces spaghetti or fettuccine
- 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
- 1 cup black olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 mini mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
- 8 sliced black olives
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over low heat until warmed through.
- While the sauce is heating, prepare the "eyeballs." Take each mini mozzarella ball and press a sliced black olive into the center, creating the appearance of an eyeball.
- In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked pasta and toss it in the olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the warmed marinara sauce over the pasta and mix until the pasta is evenly coated.
- To assemble the dish, place a serving of the sauced pasta onto a plate. Add the black olive "eyeballs" on top of the pasta, spacing them out evenly.
- Use the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan to create a "bloody" effect around the eyeballs and on the pasta. Drizzle the cheese over the pasta like dripping blood.
- For an extra creepy touch, you can use a toothpick dipped in red food coloring to draw bloodshot lines on the mini mozzarella balls.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately while it's still warm and spooky!
