There’s nothing quite like a big bowl of pasta to make everything feel right. These comforting pasta dishes are the ultimate winter comfort food, perfect for a cozy night in with the family.

Pasta is such a great comfort food, and I’ve gathered 8 of our favorite pasta night dishes for you to stay in and try this winter. Use a fun pasta shape like bowtie pasta or fusilli corti bucati.
