Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 4 ounces spaghetti noodles (regular or dyed with food coloring)
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls or slices cut into ghost shapes
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (for ghost eyes)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven heats, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook until al dente according to package instructions. If you want “spooky” colors, add a few drops of black or purple food coloring to the boiling water. Drain the noodles, toss them with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set them aside.
- Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface or a piece of parchment paper. Move the dough to a baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone. Prick the surface with a fork to prevent large air bubbles. Brush the edges lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a bit of oregano for extra flavor.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Take your cooked “spooky” noodles and scatter them across the sauce. The noodles create a “web-like” texture that adds a fun, creepy element to the dinner. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan over the noodle layer to act as a glue for the next toppings.
- Place slices of fresh mozzarella across the top of the pizza. If using a block, cut the cheese into rough ghost shapes using a small knife or a ghost-shaped cookie cutter. Space them out so they have room to melt slightly. Place two small pieces of sliced black olives on each mozzarella ghost to create eyes.
- Slide the pizza into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese ghosts are soft and slightly melted but still hold their shape. Remove from the oven and let it sit for two minutes before slicing. Serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and the noodles are warm.
