Halloween pasta is a festive dish that combines the rich flavor of tomato sauce, the freshness of basil, and the tenderness of mozzarella cheese. The green tagliatelle pasta evokes a mystical culinary backdrop, while stuffed cherry tomatoes styled as creepy eyeballs add a striking appearance to the dish. Perfect for a dinner on All Hallows' Eve, it creates an atmosphere of mystery and fun. The rich, slightly tangy taste of tomatoes harmonizes with creamy pesto, while cheese adds softness. This pasta is not only delicious but also visually stunning—it will be the centerpiece of the festive table. The ease of preparation allows for enjoyment in the process, turning cooking into a creative ritual before the holiday.

Cut the tomatoes in half. Use a teaspoon to remove the seeds. Cut the cheese balls in half. Insert the cheese halves into the tomatoes, trimming the edges if necessary (these will be the eyeballs). Cut small circles from the basil leaves and place each on a half of mozzarella cheese (these will be the pupils).
