As Food52 Resident Pasta Maker Meryl Feinstein once wrote, A box of pasta is a beautiful thing. It has your back when there s nothing left in the kitchen but an old tube of tomato paste and a few cloves of garlic. It s perfect for when you re short on time, but it s also best friends with the Sunday sauce that s been simmering on the stove for hours. And nothing beats that al dente bite.
Salon Food recipe developer Linda Young agrees. Boxed pasta is a budget- and time-friendly meal, but it s so much more than that. There are an infinite number of meals you can make with a box of pasta. No other food is as diverse: In addition to being a main course, pasta also breathes new life into soup and is a star supporting player to meat and seafood dishes.
