Despite its (slightly) spooky appearance, this not-too-trick-y linguine will go down a treat thanks to its yummy homemade pesto made with basil, spinach and plenty of cheese. You'll stir melty mozzarella through for extra gooeyness. Serve with roast butternut squash and a dusting of beetroot powder on top. Happy Halloween!
