This spooky Halloween pasta dish features homemade eyeballs crafted from mozzarella string cheese and black olives. Simply slice the cheese, use a straw to create the eye shape, and add olive pupils. Serve over your favorite pasta and sauce for a festive meal.

Ingredients

spinach pasta ( any shape)

pasta sauce (your favorite from a jar or homemade)

mozzarella cheese strings (approx ½ per person)

black olives (or dark skinned veggies like zucchini)

Directions

Cut the mozzarella string cheese into rounds about a quarter-inch thick. Slice each black olive in half from top to bottom.

Use a drinking straw to punch out small circles from the cheese slices. Then, with the same straw, cut out matching-sized pieces from the olive halves. Press an olive piece into the center of each cheese circle to form an eyeball.

Cook the spinach pasta according to the package directions. Spoon your favorite pasta sauce over the cooked noodles, then arrange the eyeball decorations on top.
