Making Italian pasta is easy, quick and flavorful. All you need is some dried or fresh pasta, tomato sauce, vegetables, cheese and herbs to make this classic Italian dish.


First of all, you need to choose the type of pasta. If you are making a pasta dish for dinner, choose dried long pasta, like spaghetti, fettuccine or linguine. On the other hand, if you want a light lunch, use short pasta such as penne, macaroni or rigatoni.


Then, you need to start boiling the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water. Remember that the cooking time varies according to the type of pasta, so make sure to read the package directions. 


While the pasta is cooking, prepare the tomato sauce. If you want a classic Italian taste, choose tomatoes with basil and garlic, as these ingredients make a delicious base for any pasta dish. Saute the garlic in some olive oil until golden, then add the diced tomatoes, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes and then it’s ready.


Next, prepare the vegetables. Any type of vegetables work great for Italian pasta, so you can use whatever is in your fridge. You can also add some sausage, ham, or seafood, for an even more flavorful dish. Saute the vegetables in some olive oil and garlic, until tender.
