Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mushroom Skulls Spooky Pasta
- Begin by gently brushing off any dirt from the whole white mushrooms using a dry paper towel. Set them aside, ready for carving.
- Using a sturdy straw, poke two eye sockets into each mushroom. Then, use a pairing knife to cut small slits for the nose and scrape lines for teeth.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the carved mushrooms flat side down on a baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes.
- While the mushrooms bake, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, heat your pasta sauce over medium heat until bubbling. Mix in the drained spaghetti and coat well.
- To serve, plate the spaghetti and place the baked mushroom skulls atop to create a spooky centerpiece.

Notes
Always brush mushrooms clean instead of washing them to avoid sogginess. Monitor baked mushrooms closely to ensure they are not overcooked.
