Who doesn't love spaghetti?Ob Bolognese, Carbonara or Napoli doesn't matter - for both young and old: spaghetti always works! Wondering what to serve on Halloween? With a dish like this you are making exactly the right choice. And if you're thinking that these aren't really special dishes for such an interesting occasion, we'd like to prove you wrong. We mean Halloween spaghetti, served in a spooky way. Brains, eyes and spiders, monster faces, fingers, black Halloween pasta and more - we'll show you how to serve pasta in a different way for Halloween. And since the sauces themselves are relatively easy to prepare, you still have plenty of time and desire to devote yourself to the scary details.
First of all, you can of course add any sauce you likeServe spaghetti. However, our tip is that you choose red or green sauces, as these fit the theme much better than white ones, for example. Although you can also color sauces with food coloring, there is a risk that the sauce for your Halloween spaghetti will ultimately take on an unappetizing color. Decide for yourself whether you want to risk it.
Coloring Halloween spaghetti
Probably the easiest idea to serve interesting pasta would be to color the spaghetti for Halloween. Simply add a few drops of food coloring to the cooked spaghetti and stir until the color is evenly distributed. Green Halloween spaghetti goes very wellwith a pesto sauce, while black or dark purple also work well with red sauce.
Another variation is to divide the cooked noodles into two or three bowls and color each portion a different color. You then combine these colors on the plate. Of course, we also recommend choosing typical Halloween colors such as poison green, orange, purple or red.
Black spaghetti for Halloween party
By the way, you can buy black pasta ready-made. Squid ink is usually used, which you can also buy separately, to color homemade pasta dough. However, if you want to use the classic food colors, either choose a black version or mix blue, red and green to create a dark gray.
Don't such eyes really look impressive? Depending on what type of spaghetti you made, you can prepare it in different ways. For example, meatballs that you add olive rings (for the iris) and mozzarella slices (for the whites of the eyes) are well suited. Alternatively, mini mozzarella can be spread over the served sauce and black or green olive rings on top.
Whole faces
As usual, arrange the spaghetti and the sauce on top and then use additional products to create a whole face instead of just eyes. For the eyes, for example, you can use halved boiled eggs and add olive rings or other things as described above. A mouth can easily be made from carrots or peppers and any vegetable can also be used to make a nose. In principle, all that is required here is a little creativity.
Serve in a paprika spaghetti for Halloween
You know the original way to serve goulash and soups in hollowed-out bread? Well, you can do something similar when serving spaghetti for Halloween. Instead of bread, use peppers, in any color, for stuffed peppers. Admittedly, that doesn't sound particularly scary at first. But you can carve the peppers just like you would the Halloween pumpkin and therefore make them suitable for the festival. This also has another advantage. The spaghetti in the pepper can then partially fall out of the carved holes, which makes the whole thing even cooler.
Cut off the capped pepper's stem and remove the seeds. Then you can use a sharp knife to carve grimaces into the sides. Then fill the peppers with some spaghetti. If some of the noodles don't fall through the openings on their own, you can pull some out yourself. Now add a dollop of sauce and the fancy Halloween spaghetti is ready to be served. By the way, the Halloween noodles in peppers look in groupson a buffet tablealso very attractive.
Halloween brain made from pasta
Isn't this spaghetti brain just fascinating and surprisingly realistic? Whether you serve it for family dinner or at a Halloween party, everyone will love it. In order for the spaghetti to get the necessary shape and stay in that shape, they must be prepared correctly. We will now explain which brain recipe is guaranteed to work. Udon noodles were used for the Halloween spaghetti recipe, but you can also make it with regular ones.
- 600g marinara sauce, reserving some for serving
- 450 g meatballs, homemade or bought ready-made
- 1.2 kg spaghetti or udon noodles
- 55g grated mozzarella
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 45g grated Parmesan
- 110 g prosciutto strips
- 60g breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp virgin olive oil
- kosher salt
- Aluminum foil, heatproof bowl, baking spray
Halloween Brain Recipes – Here’s how to do it:
Preheat the oven to 230 degrees. Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to the package instructions and then drain. You then have to make a shape for the brain for Halloween.
Take the bowl and aluminum foil. First, line the inside of the bowl with foil. Then cut two 60 cm long pieces from the foil, crumple them both into an oval shape and place them next to each other in the bowl. Using another and longer piece of foil from which to form a roll, separate the bowl in half to create the hollow typical of the brain (you can also start with the roll). Place a smooth piece of foil over the top and press it into place. Spray your finished brain baking pan with baking spray.
Fill the spaghetti into the mold
So that the brain shape holds afterwards and the noodles don't fall apart, you have to prepare a “glue” for the Halloween spaghetti. To do this, mix the eggs with half of the Parmesan, the mozzarella and the sauce (save a small amount for later) and stir in the spaghetti. Pour about two-thirds of the egg spaghetti into the bowl and press the noodles down a little. Then distribute halfProscuittoover the middle area of the bowl and then the meatballs and another layer of prosciutto with the rest of the ham. Add the rest of the spaghetti on top.
Now mix the olive oil with the breadcrumbs and the remaining Parmesan and distribute the mixture evenly over your spaghetti. Bake for 50 minutes or until the breadcrumbs begin to turn golden brown. Then let the brain cool slightly before transferring it to a plate by turning the mold inside out. The hollow should now point upwards. Fill them with the remaining marinara sauce. The dish is now ready and you can serve the food with a brain look for Halloween.
Halloween spaghetti for mummies
Since mummies are made of bandages and are therefore usually white, these are perfect if youSpaghetti Carbonaraor want to serve other light sauces in an original way. You can get the eyes with spherical food such as meatballs or mini mozzarella. Arrange the spaghetti mixed with the sauce in a heap on a plate. This works best with a fork. In order for this pile to last, it is important that the sauce is not too thin. You can thicken it a little with starch. Then choose any spot for the eyes, carefully make a small opening and place the “eyes” inside.
Alternatively, you can first form a portion of spaghetti on the plate, then place the balls on top and finish the mummy with another, smaller portion of spaghetti. This cool idea for Halloween spaghetti is sure to appeal to everyone!
Sausage mummies
Or what do you think of it?such a finger food, for which you also use spaghetti. It's not just kids who will enjoy snacking on these, because let's face it - who isn't crazy about sausages? But how are the mini mummies made? Here is the Halloween spaghetti recipe:
- 250 g sausages (in the example chicken)
- 150 g Spaghetti
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 15g corn starch
- Salt
- Ketchup and sesame seeds to decorate
Prepare Halloween snacks quickly and easily
Mix the garlic powder with the onion powder, salt and 2 tablespoons lemon juice, add the sausages, stir and let everything sit for a while to marinate. Cook the spaghetti in salted water, then drain and return to the pot or a bowl to cool. Then add a tablespoon of lemon juice and the cornstarch to the spaghetti and stir everything together, being careful not to tear the noodles.
Then take a sausage and wrap spaghetti around it. Thanks to the cornstarch, which makes the noodles a little stickier, they should stick well. When changing diapers, leave a little space for the eyes. Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat and then turn the stove to a low heat. Fry the mummies in it and then let them cool. Using a toothpick, apply blobs of ketchup followed by sesame seeds for the eyes.
Edible spiders for Halloween
Last but not least, we have a really simple and quick idea that you can spread on the plates as a garnish with spaghetti Napoli or something like thatsnack as a snackcan. These are fun Halloween spaghetti spiders that children can also make. To do this, simply cut a sausage into small pieces for the spider body, cut uncooked spaghetti in half and stick four pieces through each piece of sausage. Then cook the bites until the noodles are cooked.
Or how about such an impressive black olive spider as a topping for the spaghetti dish? The olives are held together with the help of toothpicks or stuck onto two plums for the head and body.
