B onion 1 medium 

Garlic 5 cloves

Cream ¾ tsp

Method:

 

For the mushroom skulls –

 

Cut each button mushroom in half.

Using a straw, poke out two holes for the eyes.

Using a small knife make the nostrils and the teeth.

Heat oil in a pan and add your sliced mushrooms to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until it turns golden brown.

 

For the pasta –

 

In a separate pan over heat, add oil and sauté finely chopped onion and garlic.

Add salt, pepper, cream, Italian mixed herbs, pasta water, mozzarella cheese and mix to make a creamy sauce.

To that add the sautéed mushroom skulls and stir.

Next, add the boiled spaghetti and give it a mix.

Arrange the mushrooms neatly on top and serve.

And there you have it! A frightfully fun meal that’s as tasty as it looks and is for kids and big kids all alike!
