Mummy Meatballs
Home » HOLIDAYS » HALLOWEEN »
If you’re making meatballs for dinner one night, why not turn them into Mummy Meatballs for a spooky Halloween dish?! Use tagliatelle to wrap around the meatball for the bandages, and serve on more pasta with your favourite sauce. Squirt two blobs of ketchup for eyes, and you’re done!
We made our own meatballs, but did cheat and use a jar of sauce. Pesto would also be great to make swamp mummy meatballs!
Mummy Meatballs
This recipe makes 6 large (125g) meatballs - you could make them smaller if you wanted to, but it might be trickier to wrap the tagliatelle around them!
Ingredients
- 750g beef mince
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- tomato ketchup
- tagliatelle, cooked al dente
- your favourite pasta sauce
Instructions
- Mix together the mince, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to combine.
- Form into 6 large meatballs.
- Place onto a baking sheet, and cook at 200C/400F/Gas 6 for 20 - 30 minutes until cooked through.
- Meanwhile cook the tagliatelle in boiling water until al dente. Heat the pasta sauce through.
- Drain the pasta, then take a couple of strands and wrap around each meatball to form the mummy.
- Place onto a bed of tagliatelle and sauce, and squirt a couple of blobs of ketchup on for eyes.
