Spag bol is a classic pasta recipe and makes great comfort food. There’s just something about that thick, rich bolognese sauce that’s so moreish. And the best part is that it somehow tastes better eaten as leftovers the next day! The secret ingredient to a classic bolognese is a splash of milk at the end, sounds strange but it really adds to the taste! Check out this recipe from BBC Good Food.
Carbonara is such a delicious pasta recipe, but non-traditional methods tend to make the sauce with cream, which makes it quite heavy. The traditional pasta sauce is actually made with egg! The whisked eggs are tossed through the hot pasta which gently cooks them and makes a creamy sauce. Give this one a go from BBC Good Food, much better than the store bought stuff!
Macaroni cheese is a super simple and quick pasta recipe that makes great comfort food.
