Craving a rich, cheesy, baked pasta? Us, too. Because sometimes the comfort of cheese-enveloped carbs transfers beyond the immediate tangible satisfaction to something more deeply sustaining.
Baked Ziti
Italian comfort food of the most indulgent sort. Gotta love it.
Cheesy Baked Spaghetti
As much of a one-pan wonder as they come. Willpower doesn’t stand a chance against this cheesy baked spaghetti casserole.
Lasagne Bolognese
Think you know lasagne? As Giuliano Hazan explains, what you know may be sadly mistaken. His recipe will fix that.
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
This toss-it-together-and-shove-it-in-the-oven casserole is exactly what macaroni and cheese ought to be—easy, cheesy, crumb-topped, and knee-wobblingly indulgent.
Baked Pasta with Tomatoes & Eggplant
Cook once. Eat twice. This baked pasta casserole cleverly relies on a big batch of tomato soup as its sauce. Leftover soup means you have lunches done for the rest of the week.
Baked Mac and Cheese with Bread Crumbs
Because nothing says love like cheesy pasta magnificence. This baked mac 'n cheese, with Colby, Cheddar, and crisp, buttery bread crumbs can be made ahead of time, too.
Personal Pan Lasagna
This loosely defined "lasagna" is an easy little cheat of a recipe that relies on store-bought ravioli, jarred sauce, and shredded cheese. Shhhhhh.
Spaghetti Pie
This is like baked ziti but in a blissfully easy, low-fuss, nothing-fancy, use-up-your-leftovers, comforting-as-heck sorta way.
Macaroni Gratin
This luxe mac and cheese comes in diminutive dishes at hoity-toity Balthazar, though it creates no less comfort scooped straight from a plain old baking dish sitting in the center of the table.
Cacio e Pepe Kugel
Cacio e pepe kugel. It's what happens when Rome's famous pasta dish collides with everyone's favorite Jewish comfort food.
