Celebrate National Pasta Day with My Favorites!

10.17.11
Pin It PIN IT!

I love these national “insert food item here” days. I think they were solely created to give food bloggers inspiration, don’t you? 🙂 Either way, I’m ALL OVER national pasta day. I’m pretty sure I could eat pasta for the rest of my life and die the world’s happiest person. Spaghetti (or psgetti as I used to call it) has been an absolute staple in my life for about as long as I could eat it.  So to celebrate my love for spaghetti (and lasagna, macaroni, bow ties, pasta salad, noodle casserole, etc) here’s a roundup of my absolute FAVORITE pasta dishes! This obession just further solidifies the fact that I need to go back to Italy.

If not for the pasta, at least for those views, right?

Spaghetti with Chunky Marinara

Bacon, Goat Cheese & Squash Pasta

Easy Stove Top Pasta

Eggplant Lasagna

Summer Vegetable Linguine

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Caprese Pasta Salad 

Tortellini Pasta Salad

Santorini Salad

Goat Cheese, Spinach and Chicken Pasta

Spicy Ravioli Florentine

Low Fat Broccoli Alfredo

Happy pasta day, carbivores!!

    I am 100% with you...I could completely live off of pasta.  With so many varieties, I wouldn't even grow tired of it.  I really want to try the Eggplant Lasagna.  Looks great!

    Mmm, pasta. I think I shall indulge in some never ending pasta bowls at Olive Garden, see as how that's the only thing in my budget and Tampa is known for the overabundance of chain restaurants.

    I've just discovered your blog and I adore it!! We have lots of similarities (omg how many times have you read that probs!) - I also v much love my family, being healthy and wine - and my husband is a total social media nerd... and Im obsessed with posting photos of my wedding. What else is the point in having them right?! Only thing is I'm not that mad on pasta per se - although I do LOVE lasagna!!

    Oh, I'm all over this!  I think pasta was one of the best food creations ever!  I was lucky enough to live in Sicily for three years, so I know EXACTLY where you come from!
