Here is a fun and healthy treat for you and your family during the fall season.  Try out the eyeball pasta with mozzarella and olives but you can use whatever you want to make them!  For the whites any white cheese or even hearts of palm or peeled zucchini works perfectly!  For the eyeballs, use zucchini, eggplant, cucumber or any other dark colored veggie!  Fun right?!

Eyeball Pasta

 

The “how to” below uses string cheese and various sized straws to make “eyeballs”.  Spinach pasta is naturally green making it the perfect way to serve up this spooky dinner.  If you’d like your pasta a little brighter you can add a few drops of green food coloring to the water while it’s boiling.

Eyeballs

• String Cheese (approx ½ per person)
• Black olives (or dark skinned veggies like zucchini)
• Straws (assorted sizes)

 

Instructions

1. Slice string cheese about ¼” thick. Cut the olives in half lengthwise.
2. Using the straws cut circles out of the cheese discs, using the same straw, cut pieces out of the olives. Place the olive pieces in the cheese pieces to make eyeballs.
3. Cook pasta according to directions. Top with a serving of pasta sauce and add eyeballs on top.
