Halloween Spooky Spaghetti and Eyeball Meatballs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together ground meat, breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning. 
3. Roll into 6-8 meatballs.
4. Place meatballs on a baking tray covered with parchment paper (or baking spray).
5. Bake meatballs for 15 minutes.
6. In the meantime, bring two large pots of water to a boil.
7. Look at the time to cook the pasta. Normally, legumes cook shorter than traditional pasta. Also, watch for the overcook as is standard when making a bean-based pasta.
8. At about the time the meatballs are finished with their 15 minutes of cooking, place each color pasta in a separate pot of boiling water.
9. Take the meatballs out of the oven and add the half a slice of mozzarella (or vegan) cheese eyeball. Then top with an olive slice.
10. Place the meatballs back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
11. Place the jar of pasta sauce in a medium-sized pot on the stovetop and heat up.
12. Meanwhile, when the pasta is finished cooking, drain and place in a bowl, mixed together. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil to keep moist.
13. Pour pasta sauce over the pasta, and top with eyeball meatballs.
