A scrumptious range of Italian pasta sauce recipes, designed so that you can easily learn, make and combine these with any pasta you like. From staple tomato sauces (tweaked for meat and seafood dishes) through to beefy bolognese and a sweet butternut treat, you should find something you like here.
Lasagna Recipes
If layer upon layer of succulent pasta and molten cheese appeals, you'll love these dish-filling lasagna recipes. They range from my wife's mouth-watering beef lasagna through to a meatball feast and veggie-friendly eggplant and spinach versions.
Meat Pasta Recipes
If meals packed with beef and bacon float your boat, check out these flesh-filled beauties. They include authentic Italian recipes such as spaghetti bolognese, moreish spaghetti with meatballs, and one you shouldn't miss - our family's very favourite 'pasta with bacon and ricotta' recipe (pictured).
Vegetarian Pasta Recipes
Luckily for non meat eaters, Italian pasta is very veggie-focused, as this range of delicious meals proves. They span everything from a super-sweet butternut squash ravioli through to my favourite pasta alla norma (left), crunchy green penne pesto, hearty bean pasta and more.
Baked Pasta Recipes
Pasta is really a great ingredient to cover in sauce and bake in the oven. Expect a crunchy crisp top layer, and then enjoy munching your way through a deliciously sumptuous filling. It's mouth-watering stuff - just don't plan on any strenuous exercise afterwards - you'll be too full!
Seafood Pasta Recipes
As you might expect for people whose country is almost entirely surrounded by sea, Italians love their seafood and it works beautifully with pasta. New fish cooks should check out the fresh tuna recipe, while dedicated fans will like the 'DIY' dish.
Vegetable Pasta Salad Recipe
It doesn't get much more nutritious than this veg n' pasta mix. Just chop up a pile of your favourite multi-coloured veg, bake it for 20 minutes, combine with al dente short pasta and let it cool. The result? A super-filling pasta your body will love you for.
Minestrone Soup Recipe The first pasta soup recipe on this site, this traditional 'big Italian broth' is a hearty veggie treat and then some. Perfect for warming up your family's chilly Winter nights, this dish is tasty (of course), nutrituous and so easy to prepare - just chop, boil and it's done.
