Baked ziti is one of my favorite dishes, its just so comforting. You can’t go wrong with that much gooey cheese, am I right? This green ziti is a riff on the traditional version, but it replaces the red sauce with pesto. Typically, I layer my ziti, but in this version, I mix the pesto…

One Pot Creamy Banza Pasta
This one pot pasta is a super easy weeknight meal that comes together in less than 30 minutes, only dirties one pot, and can use almost any veggies in your fridge! For this recipe, I used asparagus, but mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower or zucchini would also be delicious! Pulling this together couldn’t be easier. First…
Linguine with Fresh Clam Sauce
When I go out to eat at an Italian restaurant, one of the first things I look for is linguine with clam sauce. I’ve always loved this dish – I still remember going to Little Italy in New York with my family when I was a kid and ordering this dish. It always feels like…
One-Pot Lemony Veggie Pastina
One of my go-to comfort foods is a nice warm bowl of pastina. When I was little, my best friend’s mom used to make it and I would always ask for it at home. But my mom made it more like soup than risotto, and I liked the creamy, comforting version. So I started making…

Turkey Bolognese
I love bolognese. After carbonara, it’s probably my favorite way to eat pasta. If I could, I’d eat bolognese once a week…. but I don’t think my cholesterol levels would like that too much. So I made this slightly healthier version that uses ground turkey instead of ground beef. Yes – I added some bacon….
Foolproof Pasta
Making pasta at home can seem really daunting, but with the right tools, you can be making pasta of all shapes in sizes in no time! The traditional way to make pasta is using the well-method, where you put a big pile of flour on a flat surface and create a well in the middle…
