Halloween Beef Bolognese with Witches Hair & Eyeballs

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of hot salted tap water to the boil with a lid.
2. Finely dice onion, mince garlic, grate carrot and courgette. Set all aside.
3. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and carrot and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring, until veggies are soft. Increase heat to high and add beef and ragu spices. Cook beef, stirring for about 5 minutes, breaking up mince with a spoon, until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add courgette, canned tomatoes, beef stock and balsamic vinegar. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5-6 minutes until thickened and reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Thinly slice olives and cut mozzarella balls in half. Set aside for serving.
6. Shake pasta to separate strands. Add to pot of boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Drain well, return to pot and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.
7. Witches hair (pasta), topped with Bolognese. Dot mozzarella balls on top. Place an olive slice in the middle of each ball to look like eyeballs!
