One of the best things about pasta is how versatile it is. It’s a meal that can hold pretty much any type of food and still hold up! There are plenty of different ingredients you can add to a pasta dish that help it evolve with its flavor and even more types of pasta that pair better with them. Perhaps the most common addition to a pasta dish is some form of meat. After all, it’s great to get some protein in! If you’re looking to spice up your pasta regimen with new recipes this fall, we give you some great ideas below!
Pappardelle with Arugula And Prosciutto
When you think of the meats that you can add to pasta, we’re willing to bet that prosciutto isn’t the first thing on the list. With a little bit of arugula and the thick pasta noodles that can support the strong flavors, there aren’t many ways to go wrong with this dish! Add some leeks and other leafy greens to it and you’ll have a well-balanced and tasty meal.
Italian Pasta Bake
Those looking to infuse the world of casserole with a little bit of Italian magic will find the best of both worlds with the Italian pasta bake. Various Italian meats and cheeses make up the centerpiece of the dish, but what makes this casserole dish different from its counterparts is the fact that pasta is also a core ingredient. It’s a different take on a traditional ziti bake!
Spaghetti Pie
When reading the name of this dish, you might have to do a double take. We understand that it may not sound possible, but a spaghetti pie will blow away your expectations! Various vegetables, cheeses and spaghetti noodles are all combined with a hearty serving of ground beef to make a spaghetti dish that goes beyond the original recipe.
Penne al Forno
Having a nice comfort dish to consume every once in a while can be a blessing. When things aren’t looking great, these dishes help remind us of the positive qualities that life offers.
