I've made a variation of this for the past two years for Halloween dinner. We enjoy carving the 'pumpkins' and eating the 'worms'.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 peppers, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 -8 medium orange bell peppers, washed and dried
8 ounces orzo pasta or 8 ounces spaghetti
1 (25 ounce) jar pasta sauce, warmed (I love Mezzetta Napa Valley Bistro Tomato and Basil sauce)

Steps:

  • Carve each bell pepper as you would a Jack-O-Lantern, cutting the top off and hollowing out the inside before carving a face.
  • Discard the tops.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Drain Pasta.
  • Mix pasta with warm sauce and spoon into each individual pepper, making sure the pasta 'oozes' out the eyes, mouth, and top of pepper.
  • Serve with breadstick 'bones'--tie a knot at the end of each breadstick, bake, and enjoy!

JACK-O-LANTERN SLOPPY JOE PIE (HALLOWEEN RECIPE)



Jack-O-Lantern Sloppy Joe Pie (Halloween Recipe) image

From Taste of Home Simple & Delicious October, 2008. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but plan on making this for Halloween pot-luck I'm going to. Description from Bonnie Hawkins of Elkhorn, Wisconsion: "This is so much fun to do - and kids love it! You'll never have to worry about leftovers. It's even good for adult parties... but you might want to increase the heat level with a hotter salsa or seasonings." Author suggests garnishing with cilantro or parsley for a pumpkin stem. I imagine you could make this pie without cutting out the Jack-O-Lantern face on the pie crust and it would be just fine.
