Pasta Recipes
Pasta is my love language, and this is where you’ll find all of it, from shaping it by hand to the sauces that make it sing. If you’re new to fresh pasta, start with my guide on How to Make Homemade Pasta, then move on to shapes like Homemade Orecchiette, no pasta machine needed, or show-stopping Farfalle Giganti. For weeknights, there’s rustic Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe that’s ready in under 30 minutes and my much-loved Caramelized Onion Pasta. And when you have time for a slow Sunday simmer, make The Best Short Rib Ragu.
