    Who better than you Annie to do such a round up! I love, love the spaghettini with garlic and oregano and also the fettuccine Alfredo. Somehow they call to me louder than any tomato sauce ever could:)

    I should have waited to look at this until after lunch. I simply love, love, love pasta in any form and I don’t know which one I’d make first. Even the one with the zoodles would be totally satisfying. Yay!! Italian!

    The ultimate comfort food and I adore pasta too for Christmas day – a big hearty lasagna or a bowl of noodles makes me happy. Your baked rigatoni with eggplant has my name all over it! I love your pasta round up, Annie… perfect timing for the busy season! xo

    This settles it: I’m having pasta for dinner. Now I just have to decide which form it will take. I’m leaning toward cacio e pepe because CHEESE 🙂
