If you came here for pasta recipes, you’re in luck: This list of our favorite Italian dishes is full of noodle-based comfort. Think rich and cheesy cacio e pepe , bright spaghetti with pesto , and dinner-party ready lasagna bolognese —crowd-pleasers that are perfect for just about any occasion. But this collection of Italian dishes goes way beyond pasta. We’ve got easy-to-love chicken dishes like sour-sweet agrodolce wings , craveable sides ( cranberry mostarda Brussels sprouts anyone?), and delicate desserts like these rich and buttery pizzettes . Which is to say, you'll find all the antipastos, salads, entrées, and sweets you need to satisfy the nonna in you, no matter what she’s craving. We hope you packed your Parmesan.

Chocolate Ganache Tart
This deceptively simple chocolate tart has a press-in nut crust that just so happens to be gluten-free.

Italian Chopped Salad
This winter salad with peak season bitter greens, salami, and crispy chickpeas is hearty enough on its own, but not so over-the-top that you can’t also pair it with pasta for dinner.

Pizza al Taglio With Onion and Provolone
The onions char on this pizza and sweeten in the oven and pair perfectly with sharp provolone cheese.

Brussels Sprouts With Cranberry Mostarda
Cranberry mostarda isn’t as sweet as cranberry sauce, it’s got some fire from mustard seeds—and you’ll want it on allll the roasted vegetables this winter.

Tomatoes with Fig and Prosciutto
This salad is a riff on melon and prosciutto. We swapped the melon for jammy figs and sweet tomatoes.

BA's Best Spaghetti and Meatballs
Saying these are better than our nonna’s would be a bad idea, but she’ll never know if we just think it…

Rigatoni with Easy Vodka Sauce
It's creamy. It's cheesy. It's tangy. And it's about to be your new favorite pantry pasta.

Ultimate Caprese Salad
Real talk: This is a dish to make when the tomatoes are peaking—at the farmers’ market, you should be able to smell them before you see them. The moment only comes around once a year, so make the most of it (which is to say, do very little with them).

Cacio e Pepe
Literally "cheese and pepper", this minimalist pasta is like a stripped-down mac and cheese.

Fritto Misto
A fun first course to serve to guests in the kitchen. By the time one batch has been devoured, the next one will be coming out of the fryer.

BA’s Best Eggplant Parmesan
All your efforts will be rewarded the moment you pull this custardy eggplant slathered in tangy sauce, and a crispy, cheesy top from the oven.

Caponata with Pine Nuts
This caponata uses a technique called a "cold fry." Instead of frying the vegetables in preheated, hot oil, you combine the vegetables and room temperature oil in a pot and heat them up together.

Fresh Ricotta
A bowl of pasta tossed with fresh ricotta, chopped walnuts, some olive oil, and a little fresh parsley is a beautiful thing. Just saying.

Radicchio, Fennel, and Olive Panzanella
Make sure to have fresh bread on hand to soak up any extra dressing in the bowl.

Pasta alla Gricia
Both guanciale and Pecorino are quite salty; Leonardo Vignoli, the chef at Da Cesare al Casaletto, recommends undersalting the pasta water to give you more control.

Fettuccine Alfredo
Real alfredo should never (never!) include cream; the silky sauce is the result of an emulsion between the grated cheese, melted butter, and starchy pasta water.

Ligurian Pesto with Spaghetti
This recipe makes more pesto than you'll need. Serve the extra with vegetables or fish, or spread it on sandwiches. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Quick Pomodoro Sauce
This recipe calls for canned tomatoes—but get the good stuff, not the kind with tons of added sugar and flavors.

Lasagna Bolognese
This homemade version of the Italian classic tastes as though it's been perfected over generations.

BA's Best Linguine and Clams
Clams vary in brininess and the amount of liquid they’ll release during cooking, so you’ll need to adjust the salt and add pasta water accordingly. To prevent the sauce from getting too salty, we recommend a measured amount of salt for the pasta water. If possible, look for an artisanal dried pasta for this recipe—the rougher surface texture will catch the slippery sauce better.

Cioppino
This stew uses bottled clam juice, a smart shortcut to a robust broth.

Old-School Tiramisù
This classic-done-right is moist but not wet, extra-fluffy, boozy but not overwhelmingly so, and made with real coffee instead of espresso powder.

Steamed Mussels with Fennel and Tarragon
Giada De Laurentiis uses Peroni, an Italian beer, for this 20-minute dish, but any light-bodied lager will work and make a perfect drink pairing as well.

Steak Pizzaiola
A boneless rib eye is your best bet, plus it’s easier to serve family-style.

Negroni
It’s the original 1:1:1 cocktail (equal parts gin, vermouth, and Campari), but Chiltern Firehouse in London tweaked the ratio on this bittersweet Italian classic.

Swordfish Steaks with Olive Gremolata
For greatest grilling results, ask your fishmonger for swordfish steaks that are at least 1" thick (yes, just like a porterhouse).

Red Pesto Pasta
This red pesto tastes like a mash-up of your favorite spicy arrabbiata sauce and the anchovy-garlic dip bagna cauda. All of which is to say, it’s delicious.

Sweet and Sour Peperonata
This twist on the traditional Italian peperonata omits the tomatoes, but the bell peppers are hearty and colorful enough on their own.

Coffee-Hazelnut Biscotti
Embrace biscotti as the anti-gooey-chewy cookie that can be packed with coffee, chocolate, and nuts, and dunked in amaro, bourbon, or cold milk.
