I really love this spaghetti recipe. It's easy, light and delicious. It's ideal for any occasion, specially when you don't have much time for cooking!

In the summer, I love to eat salads of all kinds. This pasta salad is really just a salad with pasta on it instead of a traditional mayo or vinaigrette-based pasta salad. Sometimes I make my own dressing and croutons, and sometimes they're store-bought. Anyway you toss it, this salad's a summertime specialty!

A simple creamy pesto that can be made with any herbs and nuts you have at home. The illustration resonates the creaminess of the dish and highlights the ingredients as the hero

My family loves marinara. I think I have a love-hate relationship with tomatoes.. Pesto is my answer to all the tomatoes that I get subjected to.. I love pistachios and zucchini. This is a comfort food I can dig into anytime ... too bad if my waist line groans.. Oh, I have sneaked in some tomatoes into this one .. just for color.He is not invited to be part of the official recipe 😊 There is no garlic in the recipe too, as sometimes I restrict the use of garlic in my cooking. Feel free to add in some chopped garlic, if you love your pastas garlicky..

For the Play Along Pasta challenge, I created this fun recipe illustration of a recipe that is a bit off the beaten path for pasta, but is full of flavor and easy to make. Great for fall and winter, but simple enough for all seasons.

Looking for something simple? Easy to make? Wonderfully tasty! Bring Italy to your taste buds with this recipe and all of its garlic-y goodness! I sometimes make this with tequila lime chicken wings for a yummy dinner :)

A grown up take on mac and cheese, with silky ricotta and crispy bacon! Yum!

Butternut squash meets macaroni with three cheeses.

My favorite pasta recipe that is simple, but also elegant and tasty.

This is my favorite recipe. Some people don't like natto (fermented soybeans) even in Japan, but I really love it. Try it when you have a chance!

There are so many different types of pasta to choose from. Why not spice it up a bit with this smoked salmon pasta recipe? I love seafood, so this is the perfect recipe!

This very easy and delicious recipe by Jamie Oliver is one of my favourite pasta dishes! There is very little preparation needed and you use only one pan from start to end.

Life - like spaghetti - can get very tangled. But, with the right ingredients (and friends) all things are pasta-ble.

A happy plate of Spaghetti and Meatballs
