Halloween Spaghetti

Recipe Description

Halloween Spaghetti is a fantastic Halloween meal for kids. I use black food coloring to turn the spaghetti a black color. It looks kinda weird, but it tastes the exact same as the food coloring has no flavor. I pick up black food coloring in Walmart but you can find it in any cake decoration store too. 

It’s so simple to make too. Simply prepare a pot of cooking water by bringing it to a boil with salt and black food coloring paste. Cook the spaghetti as per the package directions and serve with your kids favorite pasta sauce! 

To make Halloween Spaghetti, you will need the following ingredients:

I made Halloween Spaghetti for my kids' spooky movie night. They loved the black noodles, which looked strange but were great with their favorite sauce. Easy to make, this dish added fun to our evening. I found the food coloring at Walmart easily too, which was a plus.
