- #28294
This Halloween recipe may sound creepy but it's actually delicious! You can use your favorite spaghetti sauce recipe or use a purchased sauce. If you wish, you can add ground beef or sausage to the pasta too. For a party, try making miniature bite-sized skulls using small potatoes!

30-60 minutes
ingredients
2 medium potatoes
8 ounces thin spaghetti pasta
14 ounces spaghetti sauce
directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the potatoes and cut them in half crosswise. Place the potatoes cut side up on a baking pan and bake for 40 minutes.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the spaghetti noodles in a medium-sized pot according to the directions on the package. Then carefully drain the cooked spaghetti in a colander over the sink.
A few minutes before the potatoes are ready, begin to heat the spaghetti sauce in a small pot.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and set aside for a few minutes until cool enough to handle. Scoop out the insides of the potatoes. You won't need the insides for this recipe, the empty shells will serve as the skulls.
When the spaghetti sauce has heated, remove it from the heat and combine it with the cooked spaghetti. Put a scoop of the spaghetti mixture in each hollowed out potato shell. Make sure to form it to look like "brains".
