Savory Experiments

Pastas

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t think I could ever do a diet that totally restricted me from eating carbohydrates. Some I could live without, but never pasta.

Broccoli Chicken Alfredo

Pasta recipes including chicken pasta recipes, shrimp pasta recipes, pasta salad recipes, pasta sauce recipes and vegetarian pasta recipes.

Instead, I limit my carb consumption and indulge here and there for a giant bowl of deliciousness.

Most people associate pasta with just Italian food, but almost every culture has their form of pasta, a type of food made from flour, water and sometimes eggs, then boiled.

Lemony Artichoke Pesto is a fresh and punchy sauce perfect for summer meals and pasta. Takes only minutes to make, stores and freezes well and makes an excellent gift. Top with pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes and Parmesan Reggiano cheese. www.savoryexperiments.com
Lemon Artichoke Pesto

Pasta also comes in over 500 shapes and sizes. Every single one was created for a specific purpose in mind whether it be drying faster, clinging to a specific sauce or pairing with a protein. Some even for best storing.

The Geometry of Pasta (aff) is a fascinating book that gives you all of the pasta shapes and sizes, their history and also recipes for best pairings. I read this stuff before bed because I am a food obsessed weirdo.

Giant No Boil Lasagna is made up of layers of spinach, tomato, turkey sausage, and lots of CHEESE! This is the best homemade lasagna for a crowd! #howtomakelasagna #homemadelasagnaforacrowd www.savoryexperiments.com
Feeding a Crowd Lasagna

Here like to experiment with different types of pasta, sauce and different ethnicities of food too, so while many of our pasta recipes are indeed Italian (my family is Italian), there are also many that are not.

Many are adaptable to pasta alternatives as well and not all resemble pasta at all. Some of the most popular include:

  • Zoodles (Zucchini noodles)
  • Spaghetti Squash
  • Quinoa Pasta
  • Rice Pasta
  • Black Bean Pasta
  • Shirataki Noodles
  • Veggie Infused Pasta
  • Rice
  • Mashed Potatoes

But alas, here are our favorite pasta recipes- make sure to click/scroll through to get them all!

  • Squid Ink Pasta Recipe
  • Carbonara
  • Beef Goulash
  • Beurre Blanc Pasta
  • Thai Glass Noodles with Shrimp
  • Classic Macaroni Salad
  • Deviled Egg Pasta Salad
  • Buttered Noodles
  • Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
