BLACK AND ORANGE HALLOWEEN PASTA
Cooking by color might not be the surest way to devise holiday-appropriate recipes, but who can resist the lure of black linguine on Halloween? Tossing it with pumpkin-hued vegetables lusty with garlic and hot pepper might seem like hobgoblin overkill, except that the flavors work well together. Really well. So much so that you'll be making this pasta combination again and again, long after the jack-o-lanterns have disappeared.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
- Toss squash and bell peppers with garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a 17- by 11-inch 4-sided sheet pan. Roast, stirring once, until vegetables are just tender and browned in spots, 25 to 35 minutes.
- While vegetables finish roasting, cook linguine in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain pasta and return to pot.
- Remove sheet pan from oven and pour reserved water over vegetables, stirring to loosen from pan. Stir in olives, then add vegetable mixture to pasta in pot and toss to combine.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Use a pasta that will hold its shape well when cooked, such as penne, rotini, or fusilli.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when you add it to the sauce.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make your Halloween pasta dish stand out. Choose a sauce that is packed with flavor, such as a tomato sauce, a pesto sauce, or a cream sauce.
- Add some spooky decorations: This is where you can really let your creativity shine. You can use food coloring to turn the pasta green or orange, or you can add some Halloween-themed decorations, such as candy corn, gummy worms, or plastic spiders.
- Serve it with a side of bread or salad: This will help to round out the meal and make it more satisfying.
Conclusion:
Halloween pasta is a fun and easy way to celebrate the holiday with your family and friends. With a little creativity, you can create a dish that is both delicious and festive. So get in the kitchen and start cooking!
