Pasta Recipes

A pasta dinner is one of the most versatile dishes out there. Whether you have nothing planned and throw together some pantry items or are entertaining a crowd, pasta recipes are the best.  You can add seafood, meat, cheese, all types of sauces or just garlic and olive oil and have an amazing dinner you’ll want to make over and over again.

You have to try my go-to baked pasta recipe that can be made in no time and feeds 10.  Eat half now and freeze the other half to take to a friend who is under the weather or a new mom.

If you don’t want to clean up, then try spaghetti made in one pot, you don’t even need to cook the pasta! Make it even healthier by using ground chicken or turkey.

Do you love ricotta, then there’s nothing like shells stuffed with spinach and cheese and covered in an amazing red sauce. Speaking of red sauce, you’ll find a recipe for a Sunday sauce that cooks low and slow, or make the best lasagna with a béchamel sauce.

If you need a break from red sauces, try some non-marinara sauces like a carbonara with seafood, or a creamy sauce with Italian sausage. Or go vegetarian and make a cauliflower and pasta casserole. And don’t forget the all time best comfort food Mac & Cheese which would be great with a smash burger.

I’m sure you’ll find a pasta recipe that you’ll love whether you like penne, bucatini, or shells and add something new to your weekly rotation.
