Halloween Pasta Recipe: Swamp Pesto with Severed Fingers

halloween pasta recipe swamp pesto with severed fingers | www.thepeachkitchen.com

Finally! An update.

I’m sorry I’ve been sort of out the past week. I haven’t been feeling well and a bit busy helping sis with our annual Halloween party which we do in advance to make way for any Halloween activity our invited relatives have planned in theirs.

You already know how much I love Halloween. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love the month of October because of it. Not only does  it allow me to play with my food, it also allows me to serve gory dishes to my family. I guess I haven’t been able to post as much gory and spooky recipes as much as I had planned but I’m hoping I could make it up in the coming days. I only have about nine days and I’m crossing my fingers I could make around five more.

One of my best Halloween recipe last year is this Squid Ink Linguine. Since we love pasta dishes in this house, I thought I should make this Halloween Pasta Recipe series a yearly thing.

This year, I want something a bit spooky with a tinge of yucky but I’m aiming for something that will please a pesto-loving kid named Ykaie.

And so, today for lunch I made this Swamp Pesto with Severed Fingers.

It does look like something that came from a swamp, right? I initially told  Ykaie I put “swamp sauce“over the pasta but the moment she smelled it… this pasta knew she’s a goner in a few minutes. Of course, Ykaie didn’t eat the severed fingers, not because she finds it scary or yucky…but it’s just because she doesn’t like ketchup.

So there. I hope you find this scary enough or delicious enough to grace your halloween table. I’m sure you and your guest will find this dish unforgettable..

Halloween Pasta Recipe: Swamp Pesto with Severed Fingers
 
Print
Author: The Peach Kitchen
Ingredients
  • 250g Linguine noodles
  • bottled or homemade pesto
  • 10 pcs chicken hotdogs
  • 1-2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 large white onion
  • parmesan cheese
  • salt to taste
  • Green food color (optional)
Directions
  1. Cook Linguine noodles according to package direction but add a few drops of green food color in your pasta water before boiling. This is optional but will definitely add some "icky" and "eww' factor when you serve the pasta.
  2. Set aside when cooked.
  3. You can use a ready made pesto sauce or you can make a homemade one. Click here for my pesto recipe.
  4. For the "severed fingers", cut chicken hotdogs in half.
  5. In the rounded end of the chicken hotdog make a shallow square-shaped cut to make the fingernails and make three small cuts in the middle part.
  6. Boil this until cooked.
  7. Cut your white onions into small square pieces to resemble finger nails.
  8. Microwave this for about 30 seconds in a shallow plate with a bit of water to cook it.
  9. Squeeze a small dollop of ketchup to make bloody nails and attach the cooked white onion pieces to make it look like bloody finger nails.
  10. In a small pan, heat pesto and add cooked pasta. Sprinkle with salt and parmesan cheese to taste.
  11. Transfer in a serving dish and garnish with your "severed fingers"
  12. Serve with a devilish grin (evil laugh)

    This one I can eat without getting grossed out. I can’t say the same though for your dirty cotton buds. I like marshmallows and caramel but I don’t think I’d be able to eat them served as earwax on buds. 😛

Kaya share ko sa inyo tong bago Kong #momfindsph - BETTER LIFE household cleaners (@betterlifeph ).They’re biodegradable, has plant-based ingredients, and sulfates-free. 

Pinakagusto ko yung All Purpose Cleaner kasi spray and wipe lang and it cleans easily. Ginagamit ko to to clean my stove top, air fryer, ref, microwave, dining table, at coffee table.

Kung may special occasions naman, kung ano ang ihahanda. Kaya naman I'm always on the look-out for new, easy, and delicious recipes to try. So glad I found this Creamy Pork Mechado and cooked it for the family. It's rich, creamy, and flavorful kasi ginamitan ko sya ng Nestle All Purpose Cream. Napa-extra rice sila lahat! 

Naku, mommies, subukan nyo rin to at siguradong magugustuhan to ng family nyo! Winner na winner! You can get the recipe and more Creamspirations at createwithcream.ph

Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
