Ingredients
  

For the Meatball Mummies
  • 1 roll prepared pizza dough Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough recommended
  • 18 cooked meatballs homemade or frozen & defrosted
  • 6 strands raw spaghetti for holding meatballs
  • 12 edible eyeballs
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter optional
For Serving
  • pasta sauce for serving

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the pizza dough into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide.
  3. Thread 3 meatballs onto a strand of spaghetti. This will help hold them in place while you wrap.
  4. Begin wrapping the dough strips around the meatballs, stretching and criss-crossing them until the meatballs are completely covered. Leave a small space open for the eyes.
  5. Gently remove the spaghetti strand from each meatball mummy. Place the wrapped meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 19-23 minutes, or until the dough is browned. Remove from the oven, brush with melted butter if desired, and add the edible eyeballs for the mummy eyes.
  7. Serve the meatball mummies warm with pasta sauce.
