Wanna freak everyone out at your Halloween dinner or party? They won’t believe that a scary dish such as black fettuccine can be so delicious!
Ingredients:
1 pound black fettuccine (homemade and premade; available at Eataly foods store or other supermarket)

Grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano cheese
Crushed, dried pepperoncino
Directions:
1. Bring a 4-quart saucepot of water to a boil.
2. Add the fettuccine to boiling water.
3. If homemade and fresh, boil the fettuccine for about 3 to 5 minutes (after 3 minutes, taste for doneness and boil a little longer if it’s not done).
4. If the fettuccine is from a package and dry, boil it for about 7 to 10 minutes.
5. While the fettuccine boil, keep the tomato sauce warm in a small saucepot; set aside.
6. When fettuccine has cooked, drain and return to the same saucepot.
7. Add sauce, stir and serve.
8. Ask guests to add their own Parmigiana Reggiano or Pecorino cheese and crushed peperoncino (dried chilis).
