Treat Yourself to Comfort + Flavor—Every Wednesday Night

Hey Reader!

We’ve all been there—Wednesday hits, and the week feels like it’s dragging on forever. That’s when I turn to my favorite pick-me-up: pasta. Whether it’s a spicy noodle bowl, a cheesy baked lasagna, or a one-pot wonder, pasta always shows up like the comfort food bestie you didn’t know you needed.

This week, I’ve rounded up over 25 global pasta dishes that go beyond boring bowls of red sauce. These recipes are designed to energize your taste buds and satisfy your belly so you can coast through the rest of the week with a full heart (and maybe a fork in hand).

From spicy shrimp pasta to Calabrian chickpea one-pots, creamy mushroom lasagna, and soupy orzo bowls—there’s something here to match your midweek mood.

So go ahead, make it a thing: "Pasta Wednesdays." Because you deserve a delicious reset.

June 25, 2025 This week, I’m pausing to honor someone who shaped how many of us see food, not just as something to cook or eat, but as a language. Anthony Bourdain would have turned 68 on June 25. And no matter how many years go by, it still hurts. Because long before chef titles and TV fame, he was a storyteller who chose to experience the world by being part of it. He didn’t try to change cultures. He showed up, listened, and shared a seat at the table. That’s the energy I’m channeling into...
