Crafting Pasta Perfection

Whether twirled at the end of a fork or scooped up with a soup spoon, pasta has been practically synonymous with comfort food for centuries. And with the help of these recipes courtesy of the Pasta Night cookbook, you can create dishes boasting authentic Mediterranean taste right in your own kitchen.

Nothing’s as satisfying as soup, especially this hearty Italian version featuring ham, beans, fresh herbs, and a velvety, tomatoey broth.

An enchanting combination of cheese, tomatoes, and almonds makes this classic Sicilian dish a true winner.
