or EVOO Pasta with Cheese
Bucatini pasta makes the best rendition for oily, slippery intestines…right? You betcha baby! And the addition of magical herbs and toxic cheese is a must for any Halloween spread.
Bucatini is a thick spaghetti-type of flat cut pasta, but it’s considered a macaroni because of the hole in the middle. It is a more hearty pasta and holds up to any type of sauce.
Who doesn’t like hot steaming pasta tossed with an ample amount good EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), Italian parsley, basil, crushed red pepper, and showered with Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese and fresh cracked black pepper? No one! The anser is no one doesn’t like this creepy, crawly dish!
This Halloween-themed dish is all part of my outrageous Halloween pumpkin centerpiece and Halloween Buffet Menu including Frankenstein’s Bones, Eggs in Purgatory, Charred Garden Veggies, Maggot Salad, and Red Devil Cake with Green Slime Icing. Spoooooooky!

Chef Gerrie’s Notes:
* Locatelli Pecorino Romano: Locatelli is the US brand name of the famous sheep’s milk (Pecorino translation) for Romano cheese. It’s hard and dense with a strong, sharp flavor. Perfect pairing with a rich ragu sauce.
