Sign InIf 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.

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.

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).

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.

34/64 Pasta all'Amatriciana
Named for Amatrice, a town northeast of Rome, this pasta is traditionally served with a long noodle like bucatini, but we like how shorter penne captures the spicy, meaty bits of sauce inside the tube.

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.

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
