Bats and Cobwebs image

We make this for Halloween every year at my son's request! It's like spaghetti using bow-tie pasta! It is mixed together with mozzarella cheese cubes and baked in the oven. The bow-tie past is the bats and stringy, gooey mozzarella cheese is the cobwebs!

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) package farfalle pasta (bow tie)
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water, bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Boil pasta, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well.
  • Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a large skillet until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain fat. Stir in pasta sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.
  • Stir cooked pasta and half of the mozzarella cheese into the sauce; toss to combine. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven until browned and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
