Bug pasta dish that look yucky and yummy at the same time!

Grab the chance to make this tasty Halloween-inspired recipe and create a spooktacular meal for your party guests!

Most children are excited about Halloween and want to dress up and have some scary party food!  The weather will be probably be cold when we are out and about during the evening as well.

I decided that an unusual way to get my kids to eat a hot meal with some great ingredients in would be to make some Halloween Bug Pasta.  This recipe is packed full of hearty ingredients to offset all those sweets and candies!

What You Will Need

Congelli pasta shapes (you can also use spaghetti or other pasta shapes)

1 small onion diced

Diced vegetables such as carrots, peppers and squash

A can of mixed beans (cannellini beans or red kidney beans)

One can of passata or chopped plum tomatoes

Grated Cheese

Pinch of mixed herbs

Salt

Olive Oil

How to Make Spooky Halloween Bug Pasta

First put a pan of salted water onto the stove to boil.  Add a teaspoon of olive oil.  Add the pasta to the pan and follow the cooking times on the pasta packet.

Next take a deep frying pan, or wok, and heat up a table spoon of olive oil.  Add the herbs and onions until browned. Add the diced vegetables and the passata to the pan and bring gently to a simmer.

Then add the drained can of mixed beans and bring back to a simmer.

Take the pan of cooked pasta, drain it and add the sauce.  Mix gently with a spoon.

Finally serve your Halloween Bug Pasta in a bowl with grated cheese on top!

We love this dish as it is tasty and yummy as well as having the ‘yuck look at the bugs in this’ factor as we eat!
