Creepy Halloween Food – Eyeball Meatball Spaghetti

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine the ground hamburger, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan (if using), garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined and form into meatballs about 1½ inches wide.
2. Place the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
3. While the meatballs cook, prepare the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and toss with the marinara sauce in a large pot to keep warm.
4. When the meatballs are done, top each one with a small mozzarella ball or slice. Return them to the oven for a few minutes until the cheese starts to melt slightly.
5. Press a black olive slice into the center of each melted mozzarella piece to create the “eyeball” look.
6. Spoon the spaghetti and sauce onto plates, then place the eyeball meatballs on top so they peek out from the noodles. Sprinkle with parsley if desired and serve warm.
