Print Recipe

Easy Halloween party snacks featuring meatballs wrapped in pasta and mozzarella cheese to resemble mummies. These skewers are quick to assemble, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for spooky gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 12 strands long pasta (spaghetti or linguine)
  • 12 strips fresh mozzarella cheese (about 1/4 inch thick)
  • 12 wooden skewers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 12 strands of spaghetti until al dente (1-2 minutes less than package directions). Drain, rinse with cold water, and let drain well.
  3. If using frozen meatballs, thaw them. Toss meatballs with marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Slice fresh mozzarella into strips about 1 inch wide and 4-6 inches long. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  6. Wrap one pasta strand around a meatball, leaving a small gap for eyes. Wrap a strip of mozzarella around the pasta and meatball, overlapping slightly to create a mummy look. Repeat for all 12 skewers.
  7. Place assembled skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and pasta is golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning. Undercook pasta slightly as it will continue to cook in the oven. Pat mozzarella dry to prevent soggy skewers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
