Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Pasta Dinner image

I've made a variation of this for the past two years for Halloween dinner. We enjoy carving the 'pumpkins' and eating the 'worms'.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 peppers, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 -8 medium orange bell peppers, washed and dried
8 ounces orzo pasta or 8 ounces spaghetti
1 (25 ounce) jar pasta sauce, warmed (I love Mezzetta Napa Valley Bistro Tomato and Basil sauce)

Steps:

  • Carve each bell pepper as you would a Jack-O-Lantern, cutting the top off and hollowing out the inside before carving a face.
  • Discard the tops.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Drain Pasta.
  • Mix pasta with warm sauce and spoon into each individual pepper, making sure the pasta 'oozes' out the eyes, mouth, and top of pepper.
  • Serve with breadstick 'bones'--tie a knot at the end of each breadstick, bake, and enjoy!
