You’ll need your go-to spaghetti recipe but add olives and black food coloring (gel paste works best!) to your shopping list. You can easily find this online, or at your local craft stores or large box stores in the cake decorating aisle.

Add a 1/2 tsp. of food coloring to your pot of water. A good ratio is 1/2 tsp. of coloring for each pound of spaghetti noodles.

Bring to boil and add noodles.

When noodles have finished cooking, remove from heat and drain. Add a drizzle of olive oil to keep noodles from sticking.

Toss in your favorite sauce and top with a few olives for that extra “ick” factor.
