Preparation

Step 1

To Make the Pasta:



Boil two large pots of water on the stove. Once the water reaches a boil, add half of the package of spaghettini to each pot, along with a dash of salt. Add about 1/4 tsp. of orange food coloring to one pot, and 1/4 tsp. of purple food coloring to the other pot. Boil to desired tenderness, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta in a colander.










To Make the Eyeballs:




1. For each eyeball, cut a small slice off the end of a green olive. Poke a drinking straw through middle of the green olive slice, and remove the center, so there is a hole in the middle. Poke a hole through a black olive slice, and insert the cut out black olive circle into the green olive hole.



2. Cut a thin slice of cheese off of the top of the mozzerella ball, so that the olives can lie somewhat flat. Stick both olive pieces onto the top middle of the mozzerella cheese ball. The olives stick surpisingly well to the mozzerella cheese- I turned my eyeballs upside down, and those olives didn’t slip at all!




To Make the Sauce:



Combine 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp. granulated garlic, and salt and pepper (to taste). Mix, and add sauce to both colors of pasta in a big bowl. Add the eyeballs to the top of the pasta, and surprise your kids!!








I served my four kids their spooky spaghetti with eyeballs, some delicious La Romanella garlic toast, and some cute little pumpkins that I cut from cantaloupe, and turned into tasty jack o’ lanterns, complete with a little pretzel stem!
