Pasta Recipes

I LOVE PASTA! Any type, any way. This is a collection of pasta recipes, some that I learned from Italian friends, others that have been passed down through several generations of my Pennsylvania Dutch family, and the remainder my version of classic recipes or of my own creation. There are so many shapes and varieties of pasta, including multigrain and whole wheat, that can be used in most of the recipes listed below. Pasta lends itself to many cooking applications. It can be cold or hot. It can be baked, boiled, fried, steamed, or sautéed. It can be sweet, sour, or anywhere between the two. It is multicultural. Sauces can be red, green, white, or creamed, incorporating meats, seafood, or vegetables. Pasta can be served as an entrée or a side dish. Most pasta dishes are quick and easy, but try not to pass up the ones that take some time to prepare because they are equally delicious. Use the recipes as guidelines and then adjust the seasonings to your own tastes. Soon you will be creating your own favorite pasta dishes. Have fun and enjoy!
