Ingredients:

  • ๐Ÿ 1 pack of squid ink pasta (spaghetti)
  • ๐Ÿซ’ Olive oil (as needed)
  • ๐Ÿฅฉ 1 lb ground beef
  • ๐Ÿง‚ Salt to taste
  • ๐Ÿง… 1 tsp onion powder
  • ๐Ÿง„ 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • ๐Ÿฅ• 1/2 cup small diced carrots
  • ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ 1 tsp red chili pepper flakes
  • ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ 1 tbsp paprika
  • ๐ŸŒฟ 1 tsp dried basil
  • ๐Ÿท 1/4 cup red wine
  • ๐Ÿ… 1 can of HUNTS tomato sauce
  • ๐ŸŽจ Red food colorant (optional)
  • ๐Ÿ… Orange cherry tomatoes (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Pasta:
    • Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.
    • Add the squid ink pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and toss it with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Meat Sauce:
    • In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and white pepper.
    • Once the beef is browned, add the diced carrots, red chili pepper flakes, paprika, and dried basil. Stir well to combine.
    • Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated slightly.
    • Add the HUNTS tomato sauce to the skillet, stirring to mix everything thoroughly. For a more intense "bloody" effect, add a small amount of red food colorant. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 10 minutes.
  3. Combine and Serve:
    • Once the sauce has thickened, combine it with the cooked squid ink pasta. Mix well to coat the pasta with the "bloody" meat sauce.
    • Serve the pasta garnished with halves of orange cherry tomatoes for an additional festive touch. Enjoy your spooky Halloween dinner!
