This week, Rachel Lampen and Kristen Mitrakis, owners of Rock Paper Scissors Custom Events, show Tina Redwine how to whip up some scary good Halloween party ideas.

Eyeball pasta

Ingredients:

5 Pepperazzi pickled sweet red cherry peppers (found on the olive bar in most grocery stores) OR 10 cherry tomatoes
5 mini mozzarella balls
5 pitted black olives
half of a package of dried spaghetti or tagliatelle
jar of prepared spaghetti sauce

Preparation:

Place one mozzarella ball in each Pepperazzi. If using tomatoes, halve the cherry tomatoes and use a small, sharp knife or a teaspoon to remove the seeds. Cut the mozzarella balls in half. Place one half inside each tomato, trimming the edges if necessary to fit.
Make a small incision into the mozzarella and push a slice of black olive into it to create a vertical pupil (like a goat’s eye).
Boil the pasta as directed on the package. Meanwhile, heat the spaghetti sauce. When the pasta is done, spoon sauce over it and arrange the stuffed eyeballs on top.
