Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces spaghetti uncooked
  • 1 pound sausage links preferably pork or chicken sausage
  • 2 cups marinara sauce ready-made or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 egg egg wash for brushing sausage fingers

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Baking Sheet
  • Cooking spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Cut each sausage link into four equal pieces and gently shape each piece into a finger with a slight bend, tapering at one end to resemble a fingertip.
  4. Use a sharp knife to make small knuckle marks and nail imprints on the sausage fingers for a gory, realistic look.
  5. Place the sausage fingers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with the egg wash to give a shiny, blood-like appearance.
  6. Bake the sausage fingers in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until browned and cooked through, and the tips are slightly crisp.
  7. Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan until bubbling and fragrant.
  8. Reheat the cooked spaghetti in the same pot or in a serving bowl until warm, then toss with the hot marinara sauce until evenly coated.
  9. Arrange the sauced spaghetti on a serving platter, creating a base to showcase the sausage fingers.
  10. Place the baked sausage fingers on top of the spaghetti, positioning some so they appear to be grasping the pasta or emerging from the sauce, adding a spooky touch.
  11. Finish with a drizzle of extra marinara or red sauce to mimic blood, enhancing the gory effect.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy the creepy, delicious presentation of Bloody Spaghetti with Sausage Fingers!

Notes

Ensure sausages are cooked thoroughly and fingers are shaped carefully to resemble creepy fingers. Use red sauce generously for a bloody effect.
