Spaghetti with meatballs is a familiar dish, easy to make and attractive because of the characteristic flavor of tomato sauce and rich meatballs. With a little creativity, this dish will become an interesting choice for Halloween.
Transforming spaghetti into "big-eyed monsters" will bring a quite interesting culinary experience as well as make the Halloween meal more lively and memorable.
To make this unique dish, housewives need to prepare the following ingredients: For noodles and meatballs, you need 200gr of Italian noodles (should choose round spaghetti noodles), 300gr of minced beef, 1/4 onion, 1 egg, 50gr of breadcrumbs;
For tomato sauce, you need 2 large tomatoes; 40gr tomato paste, 1 clove of garlic, 1/4 onion, 20ml olive oil. For decoration, use Mozzarella cheese, black olives...
Next, prepare a large bowl and mix together the ground beef, minced onion, egg and breadcrumbs. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Knead the mixture well until all the ingredients are combined.
Shape into bite-sized meatballs (about 3 - 4cm). Heat a pan with a little olive oil and fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides before removing them and placing them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and saute minced garlic and onion until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the pan, stirring well. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar to balance the sourness. Simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth. When the sauce has reached the desired consistency, turn off the heat and let cool.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt and olive oil before adding the noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes. When the noodles are soft but still chewy, remove and rinse with cold water to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Place the pasta on a plate and drizzle the tomato sauce over it, adding 1-2 meatballs and a little more tomato sauce for extra flavor.
Garnish each meatball with a slice of mozzarella cheese to act as the monster's eye base. Add a small piece of black olive in the middle to create the eyeballs.
Monster eye meatball pasta will make your Halloween party look lively and eye-catching.
