    Comforting Pasta Roundup

    Feb 23, 2021 / by Laney Schwartz / 2 Comments

    Everyone loves a cheesy pasta dish! This Comforting Pasta Roundup has all my favorites, guaranteed to fill your heart and stomach with joy!

    Pasta is kind of my sweet spot! It’s comforting, it’s easy to make, it’s affordable, and everyone loves it. These are my very favorite, top-of-the-list pasta recipes that I come back to again and again! They work just as well for a weeknight and they do for an at-home date night. Enjoy!

    • no boil baked ziti

    No-Boil Three Cheese Baked Pasta

    Yup, NO BOILING required! It’s a literal weeknight masterpiece of a recipe. Even better? It’s cheesy pasta. Kids love it, adults crave it, you just cannot go wrong with No-Boil Three Cheese Baked Pasta.

    Broccoli Pasta

    Look at the color in that Broccoli Pasta Sauce! I do a happy dance when I can add a serving of greens in like this.

    Lemony Pasta with Kale & Parmesan

    The brightness of freshly squeezed lemon pairs just *chef’s kiss* perfectly with kale. Sprinkle some fresh Parmesan on and it’s a swoon-worthy Lemony Pasta.

    30-Minute Fettuccine Turkey Bolognese

    Not a typo, guys–30 minutes! This is why I love pasta so much. This is the kind of dish you’d order at a restaurant, but it’s so easy to make right in your kitchen.

    Parmesan Chicken Baked Ziti

    This has become a Life is But a Dish favorite and I don’t blame ya. It’s one of my favorites, too! This is simple, nourishing, tasty food at it’s finest.

    Easy Instant Pot Pasta

    Seriously! Pasta in your Instant Pot! There are a few tricks to making it happen, but it can absolutely be done and (spoiler alert) it shortens the cooking time by half.

    • Mushroom Sage Lasagna

    Butternut Squash Skillet Pasta

    Okay, butternut squash in pasta just might be my primary love language. Cheese, pasta, and fresh veggies all combine in this skillet dish that’s totally delicious!

    Mushroom Sage Lasagna

    Who doesn’t need a good, comforting lasagna in their life? The sage in this recipe just makes the lasagna come alive and the leftovers are just as good as the first night!

    • Three Cheese Macaroni and Cheese

    Fresh Tomato Basil Garlic Pasta

    These are the flavors you think of when it comes to Italian food, right? If that’s what you’re dreaming of, this recipe is the perfect, nostalgic pasta recipe for you.

    Classic Three Cheese Macaroni & Cheese

    I’m finishing this roundup with the ultimate: homemade Mac and Cheese! If you’ve only ever made this classic from a box, here’s your sign…make it from scratch! It’s honestly SO easy and SO MUCH better.
