Frankenstein Pasta is a festive way to serve pasta to your kids, or even for a Halloween themed party. It tastes just as good as it looks!
1. In a blender or food processor combine basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, salt (you can add pepper if you want as well) and olive oil. Taste and add more salt, pepper or garlic if desired.
2. Bring a pot of water (about 5 cups) to a boil and add DaVinci Penne Rigate. Cook according to box instructions. Drain and add pesto sauce. Stir well and let cool.
3. Peel and chop up 1 1/2 of the cucumbers and stir into pasta.
4. Pour out onto a platter and make a rectangle out of the pasta. Cut two slices of mozzarella and make them into circles using a cookie cutter or knife. Use olives to create Frank’s hair, pupils and mouth. Use the rest of the cucumber to make “bolts” in the side of his neck.
DaVinci Extra Virgiin Olive Oil wraps up this present with the all-natural, imported goodness that comes from 100% pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil, adding that perfect golden touch to this appetizer. Soft, chewy, and deliciously cheesy, these Christmas Tree Bread Balls are not only easy to make, but they’re a sure crowd pleaser!
Make use of ingredients you have in your fridge and create an undeniably delicious Veggie Stuffed Shell dinner.
