Spaghetti And Eyeballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 eggs
1 teaspoon dried basil
7 ounces pimento stuffed olives
26 ounces prepared pasta sauce
1 lb spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, ketchup, eggs and basil in a large bowl. Using the meat mixture, form about 30 small meatballs.
To make the eyeballs, press an olive into each meatball, pimiento side out. Place the eyeballs in a baking dish, cover with the pasta sauce, and bake for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water. Drain and rinse the spaghetti and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent strands from sticking together. Put it on a platter or in a large serving bowl.
Spoon the eyeballs onto the spaghetti, irises up, and spoon the pasta sauce around them.
