Pasta is the ultimate fallback dinner – it’s quick, it’s comforting, and even the pickiest eaters usually won’t argue with a bowl of something saucy and cheesy. But that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. This collection is here to rescue you from the “jar of sauce and hope for the best” situation we’ve all found ourselves in at 5 pm.
Whether you want something creamy, tomatoey, cheesy, garlicky (or all of the above), these recipes are big on flavour and low on effort. There’s Creamy Sausage Pasta that tastes like it came from your favourite restaurant, but was actually made in one pan while you yelled at someone to set the table. Marry Me Chicken Risoni (Orzo) is perfect for date night or just pretending it is, and Spinach and Cheese Pasta Bake is a make-ahead miracle with three types of cheese and zero need to stuff anything. You’ll also find fuss-free favourites like Tuscan Prawn Pasta, Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta and a One-pan Chicken and Broccoli Lasagne that’s layered-ish, but without the stress.
This is pasta night, upgraded – minimal dishes, maximum flavour and recipes that are actually worth repeating.
