Speaking of creepy cuisine, Aldi is also releasing a Chocolate Haunted House Cookie Kit for its crafty customers.

If you're wondering how to whip up Aldi's Halloween-themed pasta, the possibilities are endless. For instance, mac and cheese is always a crowd-pleaser. The vibrant orange-and-violet-tinted pasta makes the perfect base for a creamy cheddar sauce. You can elevate the texture by sprinkling some crispy breadcrumbs on top. Take full advantage of seasonal produce by preparing a batch of easy butternut squash pasta. Fold in some sautéed kale or spinach for a pop of green; The contrast with the traditional Halloween hues will make your plate eye-catching and flavorful.

Get creative with a scary holiday pasta salad. Toss the Halloween-shaped noodles with sliced cherry tomatoes, black olives, roasted pumpkin seeds, mini mozzarella balls, and a tangy vinaigrette for a colorful dish. If you're in the mood for something heartier, bake the batty pasta into a cheesy casserole with marinara sauce, Italian sausage, mozzarella, and garlic (to ward off the vampires, of course).
