  • I'm drooling a little... So many fantastic recipes that I would love to try. I pinned this so I can find it again. I have got to try the Buffalo Chicken Lasagna and the BLT Pasta. I'd love to eventually try all of them. What a great compilation of pastas!

  • I like macaroni salad, lasagna and spaghetti with fresh vegetables and a thick meat sauce with ground meat and hot Italian sausage. It must be a tomato based sauce. I'm not much of a cook, but I do make some pretty good home made meatballs.

  • I grew up in a big Italian household, so pasta is in my blood. There are tons of great recipes here!

  • Today is pasta day and you found some recipes that go way beyond the normal spaghetti. Buffalo chicken, lasagna. Blt pasta. Slow cooker creamy chicken. All look and sound interesting.

  • We love pasta at our house - I pinned your recipes to my Pasta Board. The BLT Pasta looks so tasty!

  • These recipes look so great!! I think I will pull pasta out for dinner tonight and see what concoction I can come up with.

  • We love to eat pasta in my house. All the dishes sound really good. I will have to try the buffalo chicken lasagna that sounds interesting.
