No. 5: Garlic and Lemon Spaghetti

This fresh and delicious spaghetti is super simple, but don’t let that fool you – it packs a big flavor punch! A delicate sauce of garlic and lemon-infused olive and herbs is tossed with al dente spaghetti. We’re drooling over here!
No. 6: Mushroom and Shallot Spaghetti with Crispy Prosciutto

Spaghetti is tossed with a veritable mountain of sautéed mushrooms, shallots and garlic, and accented with parsley, freshly grated cheese, prosciutto and walnuts. Yum!
No. 7: Rotisserie Chicken Cold Noodles
Rachael Ray Show
For a refreshing meal, check out this cold Asian-inspired noodle dish. Start with a shredded grocery store rotisserie chicken, then cook some spaghetti noodles to al dente and allow to cool. Toss with a delicious and easy homemade Asian-inspired dressing, peanuts, red onion, scallions, basil and lettuce. Delish!
No. 8: Pasta with Ricotta and Peas
Rachael Ray Show
This vibrant green of this dish and the brightness of the lemon flavor will reinforce that spring has arrived. It’s a great dish to throw together after a busy workday, and the rich, creamy Ricotta sauce will win over every member of the family.
Rachael Ray Show
Mild red peppers are the backbone of this recipe, giving the dish its signature sweet flavor. Rach roasts and peels the peppers, then sautees them with onion, garlic and adds chicken stock, tomato puree, basil and cream to make a rich and flavorful sauce. Toss with al dente rigatoni, and top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Amazing!
Rachael Ray Show
Rach describes this dish in her own words, “This is a favorite late-night dinner for my husband and I. John’s favorite meal is carbonara; he always asks for it on his birthday. We also make it when he plays with his rock band. John doesn’t like to eat dinner before a show so this has become our favorite midnight supper after a gig. It’s really like an early breakfast, with pasta rather than potatoes or bread. It is, after all, bacon and eggs.”
No. 11: Thug Kitchen's Cauliflower Cream Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Rachael Ray Show
This recipe from Thug Kitchen: The Official Cookbook lightens up a cream sauce by thickening it with pureed cauliflower, and use non-dairy almond milk as the base. Healthy and yummy!
No. 12: Pacchieri alla Genovese
Rachael Ray Show
This ultimate comfort food starts with wide pacchieri noodles, which are topped with a meat sauce featuring beef chuck meat and pancetta.
No. 13: Umami Meat Sauce and Spaghetti
Rachael Ray Show
This umami meat sauce has a secret weapon -- sundried tomato paste! How could you possibly get a more concentrated tomato flavor? The complex beef sauce also includes anchovies, sweet vermouth and thyme, among other ingredients.
