15 Fast, Fresh Pasta Recipes Recipe Roundup | The Kitchn

Pasta is a generous, abundant sort of meal. The best pasta dishes feel lush, like you can't believe there's such a big bowl of deeply delicious food in front of you. You can sink a whole day into pasta ? kneading, rolling, and cutting fresh dough into sheets so thin the light shines through; slowly cooking sauce redolent of garlic and browned meat; patiently layering it all together into a heavenly stack of noodles, sauce, and cheese.

But pasta can be generous in other ways, too. Pasta can feed you even when you're feeling stretched and tired.

Pasta can be fresh and simple, dressed with greens and other vegetables, tossed together in one big pan.

Here are a few of our favorite recipes in that vein ? pasta and other noodles to be made just after you shrug off your coat, tossed while you relax back into an evening at home, sipping a glass of wine. This is pasta that brings you home, and feeds you when you need it most.
