This Creepy Lasagna is a spooky Halloween twist on classic comfort food, layered with saucy meat, cheesy goodness, and decorated with eerie touches like ghost-shaped cheese and olive eyes. Perfect for themed dinners, parties, or a fun family night.

Ingredients

  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Black food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: sliced olives, spinach, edible eyes, basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook lasagna noodles until al dente, drain, and lay flat on parchment paper.
  3. In a skillet, cook ground meat with onion and garlic until browned. Stir in marinara sauce and a drop of black food coloring if using.
  4. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with egg, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Optional: stir in green food coloring or chopped spinach for extra color.
  5. Spread a layer of sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Add noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, and repeat layers.
  6. Top final layer with mozzarella ghosts, olive “eyes,” or spooky cheese dollops. Cut slits or shapes as desired.
  7. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  8. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use cookie cutters or a knife to create ghost or mummy shapes from mozzarella slices.
  • Don’t overdo food coloring—just a drop or two for visual effect.
  • Vegetarian version: replace meat with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
  • Great make-ahead dish—assemble and refrigerate before baking.
  • Use a baking sheet under the dish to catch any drips.
