54 Rich & Hearty Pasta Dinner Recipes

54 Rich & Hearty Pasta Dinner Recipes

This week I'm totally in the mood for rich and hearty pasta dinners. You know what I mean...the type of pasta dish that bakes in the oven or simmers in the slow cooker until the spicy aroma fills your home and makes your mouth water in anticipation. The kind of dinner that brings my family together because seriously, who wants to eat at a friend's house when your Mom just cooked something this fabulous? Here is a collection of 54 recipes to help get your family & friends gathered around the dining room table this Fall. Deliziosa!

My favorite kind of comfort food always involved pasta.. oh and cheese.

 

There's just so much deliciousness going on here, the trick is in choosing what you are in the mood for. From mellow white sauces to spicy red sauces there's something for everyone. More exotic flavors like Barbecue and Thai are also included here for the more adventurous chef. I even found a quick and easy pasta dessert to end your perfect meal. Enjoy!
