12 Recipes to Make with a Box of Spaghetti

It’s so simple and almost a habit for most of us to grab a jar of spaghetti sauce and a pound of hamburger meat and boil that spaghetti in the pantry for dinner. Let’s get creative! Let’s make something the kids will love and be excited about eating!

Spaghetti noodles can be a blank canvas ready and waiting for your best culinary ideas. From pesto, carbonara, alfredo, and cheese sauces, you can top these long thin noodles any way you like.

Although a couple of these recipes I made with fettuccine or angel hair pasta, you can use spaghetti pasta for them.

Why is pasta different shape?

Different shapes and sizes pasta hold sauce differently. As well, different shapes and thicknesses absorb sauce and soup differently. For example, thin angel ahir pasta is more suited for thin sauces. Whereas, heavy sauces with curves and bends hold heavy and cheesy sauces better.

What is pasta?

Originating in Italy, you can easily make pasta is with flour and water and eggs. There are two types of pasta, dried and fresh pasta. You’ll need to cook both types before you eat them. They are most often boiled then served with a sauce. There are endless possiblities for topping your pasta.

Tools you need to cook pasta

  • Large pot. A large pot to boil the pasta is essential so the pasta moves around and doesn’t stick to either the pan or itself.
  • Salt. Add salt after the water is boiling and before you add the pasta.
  • Saute pan. This pan is ample size for pasta and sauce with room to stir and move it around the pan.
  • Olive oil. Italian drizzle olive oil over every finished pasta dish.
  • Tongs or spider strainer. Tongs are essential for long noodles. For other pasta shapes use a spider strainer.
  • Ladle. To serve pasta with sauce.
