I don't know why, but shaped pasta tastes so much better than regular pasta, doesn't it? I know they're the same exact thing, but Spongebob-shaped macaroni [1] seemed like a luxury to my brother and I when we were kids. Even in my mid-20s, I still stand firm in my belief that shaped pasta tastes better [2] (it's the perfect vessel to hold sauce, after all), which is why I'm more than thrilled that Aldi is selling Halloween-shaped pasta [3]!
Consider this a warning to immediately clear a shelf in your pantry, because at just $2 per 17.6-ounce package, you're going to want to stock up on this seasonal favorite ASAP. Combine your choice of sauce [4] and favorite cheeses with spider, pumpkin, and bat-shaped pasta for a spooky dish. And as if shapes aren't fun enough, the pasta is also tri-color with hues of orange, purple, and yellow. Quantities are limited, so make sure to bump an Aldi run to top priority on your to-do list.
