Nesting and comfort pastas go hand in hand—and this pasta bar allows you to please all your guests palates. I’ve mapped it out for you here, so you can just choose which recipes you want to include.

The idea for creating the pasta bar:

• Create 2 sauces and offer a table of toppings, so each person can customize their pasta to their liking. Choose from Creamy Porcini Sauce, Pecan Pesto, or a Spicy Garlic & Oil.

• Add a variety of meats, veggies, greens, and finishing touches to complete the menu. Here is a list of the recipes from The Comfort Pasta Party which can be found at this link.
