Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- Pre-made or homemade meatballs
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- Black olives (2-3 for ‘eyes’)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
- If using pre-made meatballs, follow the package instructions to heat them through. If making homemade meatballs, shape the mixture accordingly and bake or pan-fry until cooked through.
- In a large pot, gently heat the marinara sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
- Once the sauce is warm, add the cooked meatballs and let them simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the warm spaghetti on plates, topping each serving with meatballs and sauce.
- Slice the black olives in half and use them to create ‘eyes’ on the meatballs, making them look spooky yet inviting.
- Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for a pop of color. Enjoy your spooky dish!
Notes
Ensure not to overcook the meatballs. Use freshly grated cheese for better flavor.
