Our 10 Most Popular Pasta Recipes

Everyone loves a good pasta dish, especially since there are so many flavour possibilities. Here are 10 of the most popular recipes on our website. Some are faster to make and have simple ingredients, while others are more elaborate and reserved for weekend cooking. But no matter which ones you choose, they are all delicious in their own way and totally satisfy those comfort food cravings!

1. Beef and Macaroni

This beef and macaroni dish is one of the classics. It’s easy to prepare and a big kid favourite—two reasons why it makes its way back to the weeknight table on the reg. Ground beef, macaroni, celery and pepper make up the base, which is also very useful for using up any leftover vegetables lying around in the fridge.

2. Lasagna (The Best)

What ingredients make up the best meat lasagna? Tender pasta topped with a pork and beef sauce, béchamel and caciocavallo cheese. Given its preparation and cooking time of more than 3 hours, this typical Italian dish is best suited for weekend dinners and is ideal for a potluck with family or friends.

3. Mac and Cheese

Among the kiddos’ all-time faves, mac and cheese has been a mainstay. In this comfort food recipe, pasta is added to a cheese mixture and then combined with a creamy broth. Cover everything with more cheese, brown it in the oven and watch everyone at the table lick their plates clean! 

4. Fettuccine Alfredo

We have a soft spot for fettuccine Alfredo because the recipe has few ingredients, it’s simple to make and it’s totally gourmet. Make this quick meal by adding pasta to a mixture of butter, cream and cheese for an unctuous, satisfying dish that brings comfort every time. Garnish with parsley for a touch of colour.

5. Fresh Pasta

For those who might be tempted to make their own fresh homemade pasta, why not try this quick recipe? It’s made up of super-simple ingredients, including flour, eggs and olive oil. After kneading and resting the dough, roll it out with a rolling pin and cut it into long strips of fettuccine that can then be cooked.

6. Pasta Carbonara (The Best)

There is no cream or bacon in a real pasta carbonara sauce, a classic Italian dish that comes in several variations. Our recipe, developed to make it the best there is, includes pancetta, eggs and Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses. It also has the advantage of being ready in just 30 minutes. Buon appetito!

7. Baked Feta and Cherry Tomato Pasta

This recipe that combines feta and cherry tomatoes with fusilli pasta has seen its popularity jump thanks to TikTok. It’s a winning, colourful vegetarian dish topped with garlic, chili flakes and fresh basil for when you want to host family or friends without too much fuss.

8. Ramen Noodle and Beef Soup

This hearty beef soup combines a delicately flavoured broth and ramen noodles for a crowd-pleasing variation of the popular Japanese soup. It’s a recipe that lends itself to improvisation, so you can add the vegetables and proteins of your choice for even more comfort-inducing goodness.

9. Pad Thai (The Best)

Flat rice noodles mixed with garlic and paprika and coated in a mouth-watering sauce are the basis of this pad Thai recipe. Our Asian-inspired version is made with marinated chicken thighs, eggs and tofu. Sprouted beans, peanuts and lime wedges complete the list of toppings, adding welcome texture and flavour.

10. Classic Macaroni Salad

A macaroni salad is always a must and this recipe is reminiscent of a version our grandmothers used to make with peppers and celery. Prepared in advance to allow the flavours to soak into the pasta, this dish is always a potluck hit—and even better the next day!
