Do you know the cure to all the problems in the world? Carbs. Even better when it's in the form of pasta. There's something so comforting about a hearty bowl of pasta that makes everything feel better. While it can seem daunting to make good pasta on your own, and ordering in seems like the easier option, there is something to be said about making a meal on your own. Not trying to be cheesy (pun intended) these five pasta recipes are so flavourful yet easy to make that they'll have you cooking every chance. So, pasta la vista, baby!

1. Tomato and Garlic Confit Tagliatelle 

Nothing goes with pasta like tomato and garlic; even better if they're turned into confit! This recipe is so simple yet so delicious that you won't be able to wait to devour it as the aroma fills your kitchen. 

- 12 cloves of unpeeled garlic 

- ¾ cup olive oil 

- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional) 

- 5 sprigs of fresh thyme 

This pasty is cheesy and tangy, and if you don't think of adding this to your meal plan, then we will be quite disappointed. Trust us; this is something you will be cooking up on the reg. 

- 200 grams cooked pasta (any shape you like)

- 1 cup whole milk ricotta 

- 1 garlic clove (grated or pressed)

- Salt and black pepper to taste 

Once you get chummy with pesto, you'll realise there is more to pasta than just red and white sauce. This pasta salad is refreshing, filling, and perfect for a nice, sunny day.
