Ingredients

  • 1 tbspolive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tbspgochujang
  • 750 gpassata
  • 400 gsausages
  • 300 gshell pasta
  • around 100 gmozzarella
  • a small handful sliced black olives

And that means it's time for your dinner to freak you out.

Method

  • Begin with the sauce. Cook the onion down until soft then add the gochujang and passata. Cook the sauce down until thick. C
  • Cook the pasta until just al dente and squeeze the sausages from their shells.
  • Use a piping bag or spoon to get the sausage meat into the centre of each piece of pasta. Spoon 3/4 of the passata into a baking dish and top with the pasta shells.
  • Spoon a little of the sauce over the "eyeballs" and cut the mozzarella into small circles. Place these in the centre of each pasta piece and top with an olive - you can paint lines around the "pupil" to make it look more spooky.
  • Bake for around 30 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through.
  • What do you think of the recipe?
