Halloween Edibles (PART II)
Main: Pasta a-la Eyeball
For the Halloween edibles main course, this gruesome-looking but delicious tomato and “eyeball” pasta is sure to send a chill down your spine.
Ingredients
- 100g cherry tomatoes
- 350g jar of tomato sauce
- 4 tbsp fresh pesto
- Mini mozzarella balls
- Handful of basil or black olives
- 400g green tagliatelle
Directions
Step 1: Craft your eyeballs
Using a sharp knife, cut your cherry tomatoes in half. Gently remove the seeds with a small spoon or knife edge. Halve your mozzarella balls and wedge them inside the tomatoes with the rounded end facing outward. You can trim your mozzarella to fit if necessary.
Step 2: Cook your dish
Heat your tomato sauce without boiling it. Once your pasta is cooked, drain and mix in your pesto.
Step 3: Serve with delight
To see your pasta transform into a dish fit for Hannibal Lecter, transfer your pasta into your serving bowls and pour your weed-infused tomato sauce over the top. Next, strategically place the eyeballs you created across the dish with the pupils staring right up at you.
