There’s no greater good than food, and no greater food than Pasta. We don’t even need to exaggerate because that is as true as it gets. Delicious, decadent pasta that is also comforting and soul stirring. And not only does it do marvels for our palette, but it also appeals to our creative side with so many varieties. So we are paying an ode to all these varieties, with listing out 8 healthy pasta dishes you need to have before you die!
1. Aglio Olio Spaghetti
This is possibly the easiest to whip, but also the hardest to perfect. The right amount of chilli, the perfect smoothness to the spaghetti, and the right consistency of olive oil is literally what make this dish one to remember.
2. Bolognese Fettucine
The most comforting pasta dish of all of them. Hot, mildly spicy, with a lot of depth and texture -the fettucine complements the sauce and it is truly a match made in Italian heaven. Have it with some perfectly creamy bread and you are good to go for an absolute food coma.
3. Pesto Gnocchi
Gnocchi is interesting to pronounce, and quite interesting to look at as well. But it is just plain brilliant to taste. There is so much butteriness and gooeyness to gnocchi that it literally melts in your mouth. Add to that some pesto, which is both parts chunky and flavourful!
4. Lasagna
We could leave this bit entirely untold and still leave you to day dreaming about this perfect dish. Lasagna is literally flawless; there is oodles of cheese, oodles of pasta, oodles of proteins, and it is all perfectly baked together to create a gastronomic harmony which is tough to beat. We can’t even write this fully without salivating.
5. Squid Ink Pasta
It’s a favourite of a lot of people, and once you get past the colour -it is actually quite the delicacy. It’s light, it’s got a gamut of flavours, and it is the perfect dish to try when you want to be adventurous but also a little safe!
6. Spaghetti Carbonara
7. Mac n Cheese
YES PLEASE! So much cheese! Mac and Cheese is perfect for kids and adults alike. Creamy, with butter, and macaroni, and cheese so much cheese -it is the perfect relaxation food which requires minimal effort and is hot, tasty, and all over good for the soul. Whip it up now, and be thankful forever.
8. Ravioli
Buttery, beautiful, and flavourful – ravioli with the right cheese (ricotta!!!) is quite unmissable as a great dish. The pasta is ornately shaped, it can be of a bevy of patterns – from something smooth to something with more texture. Top it with veggies, and herbs and peppers – it will be the most delicate thing you would be taking a bite of.
