Pasta Recipes

Think outside the box with these fresh idea for pasta sides, from Wilted Kale with Toasted Shallots to Green Beans with Citrus and Pecans.

You don't need a lot of supplies to make these delicious meals (which have 10 ingredients or fewer) work. Whether you're in the mood for a classic Italian dish ( Cacio e Pepe is famous for its simplicity) or a cozy comfort food dinner (nothing beats this Stovetop Mac and Cheese), these quick and easy pasta recipes with few ingredients are ideal for busy weeknights. 

Cut back on cleaning with these quick and easy one-pot pastas. Whether you're in the mood for something deceptively simple (this One-Pot Pasta with Tomato-Basil Sauce will always be a hit) or a comforting soup that makes good use of that box of pasta collecting dust in your pantry (like this Hearty Beef and Freezer Veggie Soup), you'll come back to this collection of one-pot pasta recipes again and again. 

These decadent creamy pasta recipes are perfect for a cozy night in. Whether you're in the mood for a velvety mac and cheese (our Panera copycat is always popular), a rich tomato-based sauce (this Penne with Spicy Vodka Cream Sauce fits the bill), or a classic Alfredo (because who could deny this Chicken-and-Kale Alfredo Bake?), we've got you covered.

These 15 easy pasta recipes are made even easier by your Instant Pot. Whether you're in the mood for a traditional Italian dish (this Spaghetti and Meatballs with Red Wine is calling our name) or some classic comfort food (you'll love this Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup), we've got your dinner tonight covered. 

Fact: There are few things more comforting than a pasta casserole. Whether you're in the mood for a classic tuna noodle situation ( here's our favorite recipe) or a hearty lasagna (because, yes, lasagna is a casserole), we've got the recipe for your dinner tonight. 

There are few dishes more comforting than a pasta bake: Lasagna, baked ziti, mac and cheese, and rigatoni all deliver a coziness that's welcome at any table, as warm carbohydrates are known to do. While they're simple enough for any night, these baked pasta dishes still feel worthy of a special occasion and will make a fitting main dish or side at your Easter dinner.

Can't decide what to make for dinner tonight?

Whether you're looking for something creamy and comforting (like this Cajun Shrimp Alfredo or this Pasta with Shrimp and Tomato Cream Sauce) or something light and healthy (this low-carb Zoodles with Shrimp and Green Goddess Dressing is totally crave-worthy), our easy shrimp pasta recipes have dinner tonight covered.
