Lineage Food Diaries: 6 Cozy Pastas We're Loving Right Now
There is nothing quite like comfort food and we think we can all agree, pasta is our number one! Whether you grew up eating cheesy dishes as a kid or it’s a newly discovered favourite, pasta is beloved internationally for its ability to be a simple go-to or a dish to get creative with. It’s often one of the first meals you learn to cook, which is why pasta holds so much nostalgia in every chapter of our lives. Plus it makes great leftovers for any age, on any day of the week!
We love how versatile a plate of pasta can be! It can be prepared with merely butter and salt, or easily developed into a gourmet meal with a rich homemade marinara sauce or creamy white sauce. Pair with a delicious side of pre-prepared protein and you’ve got a delightfully balanced meal that hits all your nutritional needs and cravings. If you’re feeling daring you can even take a go at making your noodles from scratch!
We have curated this list of delicious pasta recipes to inspire you at home to get back to basics or challenge your culinary skills. Plated on either our Deep Plates or Shallow Serving Bowls, complimented with a refreshing cocktail, these recipes can be perfected for a dinner party, or enjoyed on your lap on the couch. We hope a meal of savory pasta will offer a soothing and relaxing moment of comfort this season.

Sautéed shiitake mushrooms, crispy brussel sprouts, piquant pancetta, mixed with whole wheat orecchiette and a creamy carbonara sauce - can you think of a better combo? We’ll wait. If you're scared off by the brussel sprouts, we can assure you, this recipe will have you switching teams and joining the sprouts fan club immediately. Plate this masterpiece on our Brandy Red Shallow Serving Bowls and serve with a punchy cocktail - it will be a meal you never forget!
Black Pasta with Shrimp and Crab
Recipe by: White Plate Blank Slate
Looking to expand your cooking expertise and knock a few items off your culinary bucket list? This robust creamy squid ink pasta will definitely accomplish that goal and then some. Top with fresh seafood (we like crab and shrimp, but fish would also complement this dish well) pan-fried in butter, along with cherry tomatoes, scallions, and fresh garlic. YUM! Remember to take a photo of this gorgeous dish before you devour it. Frame this pasta work-of-art on our Blackberry Deep Plates and for a sultry dish to spice up your evening.

Alfredo is a classic pasta loved by everyone aged 1 to 100, but we’re kicking things up a notch and adding some heat to this dish! Season your protein with a homemade cajun seasoning and enjoy this warm creamy pasta on any night of the week. It’s the perfect recipe to have the kids help with dinner since the process is simple and it yields a delicious meal that they can be proud of. Serve on our Aqua Grey Deep Plates, with garlic bread and a glass of wine on the side.
TikTok-Inspired Baked Feta Pasta
Recipe By: Food Network
You know it, you’ve seen it all over social media, and we know you’re curious how the heck to make it! TikTok seems to be influencing many parts of our lives these days, and it was only a matter of time before it broke into the kitchen. Enter a creamy, flavour-filled pasta that we’re sure will be replacing Kraft Dinner in college dorms. It’s truly that simple! We suggest plating this dish in our Brandy Red Shallow Serving Bowls and let the noodles themselves do the talking.
Butternut Squash Stuffed Shells

We highly recommend hitting up your local farmers market for this one! With a creamy ricotta texture mixed with a sweet surprise from the roasted butternut squash, this dish will satisfy your taste buds without leaving you overstuffed or bloated. Each shell is stuffed with a cashew cream base combined with crumbled tofu, lemon zest, and baby spinach and seasoned with oregano, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Nutritious and delicious! Filled with flavour and texture these bursting shells would look (almost) too good to eat on our Blackberry Deep Plate, paired with a glass of white vino and side salad.

A quintessential favourite when it comes to comfort food! If you’re looking to step up your go-to recipe we highly recommend trying this made from scratch spaghetti sauce with homemade meatballs that are bursting with flavour. The key? San Marzano Tomatoes, a tender pound of ground veal, and real parmesan (always the best option). This recipe is likely to be a new guilty pleasure for the entire family, but also a perfect elevated pasta that, framed on our Marshmallow White Shallow Serving Bowl, will impress your guests at your next dinner party and definitely have them coming back for more!
Enjoy!
It’s our wish that these pastas will fill your tummy and warm your heart. Remember how much the simple moments during a hearty meal can revive your soul. Subscribe to our newsletter for more inspiration on how to elevate your every day with Lineage Tableware!
