Bats and Cobwebs
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!

Swap olives for pearl onions for a different look, and coat with crushed French-fried onions for a burnt fur effect. When sliced, the "guts" ooze out for a creepy touch!
