Instructions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water
stirring occasionally
until tender yet firm to the bite
about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Whisk Parmesan cheese
bread crumbs
egg
garlic
parsley
basil
and oregano together in a large mixing bowl. Fold in ground beef and mix with your hands until blended. Form 16 equal-sized meatballs using a cookie scoop.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer cooked meatballs to a baking sheet using tongs.
Bake browned meatballs in the oven for 8 minutes.
While meatballs bake
use a plastic straw to punch a hole through each olive half to create a circular "pupil." Use the same straw to punch a hole through the center of each string cheese slice. Insert the round olive piece inside the hole in the string cheese slice to create "eyes."
Remove meatballs from the oven; set aside until cool enough to handle.
Assemble zombie eyes by twirling a few strands of cooked spaghetti around each of 16 forks. Spear a meatball onto each fork and arrange forks on a serving platter. Spoon a dot of spaghetti sauce onto each meatball where you want to place the "eyes." Apply the olive-cheese "eye" over the sauce. Spoon remaining spaghetti sauce over the twirled spaghetti on the forks.
