Transform Italian spaghetti Bolognese into an atmospheric Halloween appetizer. Instead of regular pasta, cook black spaghetti with cuttlefish ink. To serve, spoon it into clear glasses and top with a spoonful of Bolognese meat sauce, which has everything you need for a delicious Italian pasta: beef, tomatoes, garlic, and aromatic basil. The black spaghetti looks like worms in the glass. Be prepared for this unique appetizer to be a bit confusing at first, but the taste and presentation will be unforgettable.
