Italian pasta is the dish I cook more than any other category. Whether it is a 15-minute aglio e olio on a busy weeknight or a slow-braised beef tortellini for company, the formula stays the same: good pasta, real cheese, the right sauce. This is my running list of tested Italian pasta recipes.
Most can be on the table in under an hour. A few are weekend projects. All are restaurant-quality at home.
