Step-by-Step Instructions for Mushroom Skulls Spooky Pasta
  1. Begin by gently brushing off any dirt from the whole white button mushrooms using a dry paper towel.
  2. Using a straw, poke eye sockets into each mushroom to create the spooky skull features and carve out mouth and nose details.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Line a baking tray with oil and place the carved mushrooms flat side down. Bake for about 15 minutes until tender.
  5. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Heat your jarred pasta sauce in a separate saucepan until warmed through. Toss cooked spaghetti in the sauce.
  7. Plate the saucy spaghetti and top with the spooky baked mushroom skulls, arranging them artistically.
