We make this baked bow tie pasta 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 pasta is the bats and the stringy, gooey mozzarella cheese is the cobwebs!

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion , Optional

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara Tradizionali
This carbonara recipe comes from an Italian, unlike a lot of recipes out there for spaghetti alla carbonara. It's very true to what you'd find in Italy โ no cream, just eggs, and Pecorino Romano cheese is used, not Parmesan.
Lokshin Kugel (Noodle Pudding)
This is a side dish commonly served with roasted chicken for Friday night (Shabbat) dinner. It doesn't have to accompany chicken only, but, as my mother once told us, when she was a child, chicken and noodles were more affordable than other foods. This is a great accompaniment to any meat.
