Pasta is a staple that everyone in my family, except for one son, enjoys. For me, having a repertoire of easy pasta dishes is essential, especially when time is short. I've developed about 10 pasta recipes that I can whip up at a moment's notice. One of our favorites is a pasta dish that utilizes frozen sauce, which, once defrosted, brings a burst of fresh flavor—my daughter adores it.
I know I'm not alone in seeking out comforting pasta dishes. They're not only delicious but also budget-friendly, especially when loaded with veggies or prepared without meat. And for those of us who are gluten-free, there are plenty of options available nowadays.
As a gluten-free eater myself, I often cook separate pasta to enjoy with the family. Barilla's Penne Pasta and Jovial Gluten-Free pasta, especially their Tagliatelle, are my top picks—they're so close to regular pasta that I can barely tell the difference. I also love Taste Republic's Cauliflower Gluten-Free Pastas, which are available at Costco or Target. Target offers some unique options too, like Taste Republic’s Tortellini and Ravioli, though I haven't tried those yet.
Now, onto the best part—over 40 amazing quick and easy pasta dinner ideas and recipes that I've gathered for you. These are tried and true, ensuring you'll find something to satisfy everyone's taste buds:
