Italian Recipes

Italian pasta done properly — spaghetti carbonara without cream, creamy garlic pasta, and baked cheddar ziti with pockets of ricotta — 3 tested recipes.

Italian cooking rewards a few honest habits: salt the water, actually undercook the pasta, and let the sauce be the star. From the Roman classic carbonara (no cream, ever) to bubbling baked ziti, these are the plates that answer "what is for dinner" faster than delivery.
