asta is a favorite for kids and adults, plus a reliable crowd pleaser when entertaining. And as long as you’re making everyone happy with pasta, why not slip in additional vegetables and make that plate a little more of a balanced meal? While a light pasta salad or quick pesto spaghetti fits the bill during warm weather, cooler days bring heartier pasta dishes and crave-worthy creamy sauces. Cozy baked pastas are the ultimate in comfort food and also a good dish to serve one day and reheat as needed the next. And fall is a perfect time to incorporate more of the harvest into your pasta dishes. In these recipes, butternut squash, cauliflower, and other autumnal favorites add seasonal color, flavor, and energy to favorite pastas. So, instead of relegating your veggies to a side dish, make them a part of the pasta in these recipes that are sure to become new family favorites.
