  • Pasta is Italy's most famous culinary export and the calling card of its cuisine. Whatever shape your family prefers—shells, bow ties, penne—you can turn it into a wonderful, satisfying meal. Paired with chicken and a creamy sauce, plain pasta becomes a pleasant, delicious dinner. Cook it once and it just might become a household favorite. Worth knowing: in Italy, pasta is a course in its own right, not a side dish—the main fish or meat dish comes afterward. And properly cooked pasta is never rinsed after draining. This is the dish for anyone short on time who still wants to treat themselves and their family to something tasty and filling without much fuss. Enjoy the rich flavor!
