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
: Stacey Tyzzer 1/10 Italian comfort food of the most indulgent sort. Gotta love it.
Recipe Cheesy Baked Spaghetti
: Dylan James Ho & Jeni Afuso 2/10 As much of a one-pan wonder as they come. Willpower doesn’t stand a chance against this cheesy baked spaghetti casserole.
Recipe Lasagne Bolognese
: Joseph De Leo 3/10 Think you know lasagne? As Giuliano Hazan explains, what you know may be sadly mistaken. His recipe will fix that.
Recipe Baked Macaroni and Cheese
: Johnson Rauhoff 4/10 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.
Recipe Baked Pasta with Tomatoes & Eggplant
: Quentin Bacon 5/10 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.
Recipe Baked Mac and Cheese with Bread Crumbs
: Carl Tremblay 6/10 Because nothing says love like cheesy pasta magnificence. This baked mac n cheese, made with Colby and Cheddar and crisp, buttery bread crumbs, is easily one of the best we've ever had.
Recipe Personal Pan Lasagna
: Marcus Nilsson 7/10 This loosely defined "lasagna" is an easy little cheat of a recipe that relies on store-bought ravioli, jarred sauce, and shredded cheese. Shhhhhh.
Recipe Spaghetti Pie
: Evan Sung 8/10 This is like baked ziti but in a blissfully easy, low-fuss, nothing-fancy, use-up-your-leftovers, comforting-as-heck sorta way.
Recipe Macaroni Gratin
: Christopher Hirsheimer 9/10 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.
Recipe Cacio e Pepe Kugel
: Evan Sung 10/10 Cacio e pepe kugel. It's what happens when Rome's famous pasta dish collides with everyone's favorite Jewish comfort food.
