10 pasta dishes you’ll be thinking about all weekend!


Hi Friends Reader

There’s something about the weekend that just calls for pasta…
a little slower, a little cozier, and definitely more satisfying.

Whether it’s a creamy skillet, a fresh pasta salad, or something hearty straight from the oven, these are the kinds of meals that feel like a treat but are still easy enough to pull together without overthinking it.

So if you’re wondering what to make this weekend… I’ve got you covered 👇

Creamy + comforting
Sun-Dried Tomato Shrimp Fettuccine
Shrimp Scampi Pasta
Classic Chicken Broccoli Pasta

Fresh + lighter (but still satisfying)
Salmon Pasta Salad
Tortellini Pasta Salad
Mediterranean Chickpea Pasta Salad
Easy Pesto Pasta Salad

Perfect for a laid-back lunch, meal prep, or when you want something fresh but still filling.

Hearty + feel-good dinners
Beef Stuffed Shells Pasta
Roasted Vegetable Pasta
Garlicky Kale Mushroom Pasta

Tell me which one are you making first?
