Pasta Recipes

Pasta is the fastest way to a satisfying dinner, and this collection gathers every food recipe pasta lovers will want to keep: garlicky shrimp scampi, cheesy baked casseroles, Italian classics like carbonara and cacio e pepe, and make-ahead bakes for busy weeks.
Each recipe uses standard US measurements and tells you which pasta shape to buy, how long to boil it and when to save a cup of the starchy cooking water, the simple trick that turns butter, cheese and oil into a glossy sauce. Most dishes come together in 30 minutes or less with pantry staples, and many reheat well for lunch the next day. Look for the tips on each page for gluten-free pasta swaps, freezing casseroles and reheating leftovers without drying them out.
