Speedy Skillet Ravioli Lasagna
Dylan James Ho and Jeni Afuso
This genius one-skillet spin delivers all the hearty appeal of traditional lasagna in an easy weeknight-friendly (and kid-friendly) format. You make a tomato sauce right in the same skillet you use to bake the whole thing, and the ravioli—layered with mozzarella and parm, cooks and soaks up the tomato flavor at the same time the starch from the pasta thickens the sauce. Truly, one of our favorite pasta dishes.Get the recipe: Speedy Skillet Ravioli LasagnaRelated: 30 Best Lasagna Recipes

Chicken Tetrazzini

Chicken Tetrazzini is the perfect dish to use up leftover chicken and tetrazzini itself is fantastic as leftovers. We like angel hair or vermicelli compared to spaghetti in chicken tetrazzini because the thinner the pasta, the better. Get the recipe: Chicken Tetrazzini

Rachael Ray's Fettuccine Alla Vodka
Christopher Testani
This recipe, from the cookbook, Rachael Ray 50, was the first meal the celebrity chef made on Oprah and features what she winsomely called; "You Won't Be Single for Long Vodka Sauce." "The show claimed the recipe requests jammed up their site for a bit, and the team might just have been polite to me," says Ray. "But it was popular, as over the years I've heard from many ladies that the promise worked and the sauce produced many proposals—most, I assume, for marriage." Bright, rich and a little spicy, it's easy to see why this sauce could win over anyone.Get the recipe: Rachael Ray's Fettuccine Alla Vodka

Stephen Lopez

Vegetarian Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta
Ben Rayl
This pasta is a great vegetarian dish, but if you want it to meat it up you can add Italian sausage or some cooked chicken breast. A longer pasta, like fettuccine, works best with this sauce—you want something with as much surface area as possible to coat with all that deliciousness.Get the recipe: Vegetarian Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta
Bucatini with Bottarga and Lemon Breadcrumbs
Cecconi's
This is a great dish for the summertime due to the acidity of the lemon, which is balanced out by the fragrant garlic and chili. And the bottarga adds a light seafood freshness and complexity to the dish.Get the recipe: Bucatini with Bottarga and Lemon Breadcrumbs
Baked Manicotti
Nisa Burns
If you love manicotti, you'll love this version. Try adding sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and red pepper flakes to the filling, which gives the dish more depth. Also, make note of this go-to tomato sauce recipe. It's great on all sorts of pasta dishes and as a dipping sauce for bread.Get the recipe: Baked ManicottiRelated: 60 Best Pasta Bake Recipes
Cauliflower Carbonara
Teresa Blackburn
