Print Recipe

A delightfully creepy dish featuring savory meatballs that look like eyeballs resting on a bed of spaghetti, perfect for Halloween.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces sliced provolone cheese
  • 2.25 ounces canned sliced black olives
  • 16 ounces dried spaghetti
  • 16 ounces marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, olive oil, parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Shape the mixture into 2-inch meatballs and place them on a prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake the meatballs for 18-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
  5. Cut 1-inch circles from the provolone cheese. After the meatballs have baked for about 20 minutes, add a cheese circle and a sliced black olive on each meatball. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  6. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions and drain.
  7. Warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan until hot.
