Ingredients

Before we dive into the cooking adventure, here’s what you’ll need:

• Spaghetti: 1 pound
• Tomato sauce: 2 cups (store-bought or homemade)
• Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
• Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
• Mozzarella balls: 1 cup (or eyeball-shaped if you’re feeling adventurous)
• Black olives: 1/2 cup, sliced (for the pupils)
• Salt and pepper: to taste
• Basil leaves: for garnish (optional)

Steps to Create Your Bloody Masterpiece

1. Cook the Spaghetti: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling like a witch’s cauldron, add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside, but don’t forget to say a spooky incantation over it—just for fun!
2. Make the “Bloody Sauce”: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and let it sauté until it’s fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Next, pour in your tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This part makes your kitchen smell like an Italian dream!
3. Add the Spaghetti to the Sauce: Once the sauce is ready, toss in the drained spaghetti, ensuring it’s well coated in the “blood.” Stir it gently, picturing your creation coming to life.
4. Assemble the Mozzarella Eyeballs: While your spaghetti is soaking up that heavenly sauce, prepare the mozzarella balls. Place them on top of your spaghetti in a decorative manner, and add a slice of black olive onto each cheese ball to create eyeballs peeking out from the “blood”—spooky yet delicious!
5. Plate Up and Garnish: Serve your bloody creation immediately! Add fresh basil leaves on top for an optional garnish; they add a pop of green and a hint of freshness. Your dish is now officially party-ready!

Cooking Tips

• Just a Splash of Humor: If you accidentally drop an olive into the sauce, don’t worry—it’s all part of the ambiance!
• Pasta Perfect: When cooking spaghetti, be sure not to overcook it. No one likes mushy pasta! Aspiring al dente chefs, rejoice!
• Thicken Your Sauce: If you like a heartier sauce, simmer for longer and you’ll have the perfect texture in no time.

FAQs

• Can I substitute the mozzarella balls?
  Absolutely! Feel free to use any cheese you prefer, although I must say the mozzarella does work wonders with its creamy texture.
• How can I store leftovers?
  Leftover bloody spaghetti can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat in the microwave or a skillet, and it’ll be almost as good as freshly made!
• What sauce can I use if I’m in a hurry?
  Store-bought sauces are a lifesaver! You can pick your favorite marinara or even try a vodka sauce for a creamy twist.
