Fettuccine With Wild Mushrooms

Pasta Alla Genovese
To many Neapolitans, the beef sauce La Genovese is at the heart of the city's cooking. Yet it’s little more than onions (lots of them) and beef, simmered until both fall apart. Boiling the onions before cooking is a variation on traditional technique and could be considered a shortcut; it does save time, though not a whole lot of it. It's easy enough, and more traditional, to slice the onions raw and increase cooking time accordingly.

Veal Meatballs With Tarragon

Fettucine With Porcini

Pasta with Foie Gras and Truffles
Consider denting the budget with a foie gras and truffle indulgence for two. By using either tinned or fresh preserved foie gras, as in a mousse with truffles or a nice portion of foie gras au torchon, you can dress some pappardelle or tagliatelle in deep velvet and create a dish that seeks the acidity and sleek fruit of Côte de Nuits. As for the truffle, fresh black is not required. A less costly tinned or jarred truffle provides juice to enhance the sauce.

Orecchiette With Tomato Sauce and Kale
This is true to the Apulian tradition of serving chopped greens with orecchiette, those little ear-shaped pasta, though the greens might be different in Apulia and the combination doesn’t always include a tomato sauce. Since I’ve always got tomato sauce in my freezer, it’s an easy dish to throw together. This winter version is made with canned tomatoes.

Pasta Alla Norma, My Way
I make pasta alla Norma all the time; you will find more than one recipe from me on the classic tomato and eggplant sauce. But this is my favorite version, created on the spur of the moment and at the suggestion from a friend.

Pasta With Shrimp Ragù

Pasta With Lemon, Herbs and Ricotta Salata
Here's a light, brothy pasta with chicken stock, lemon zest, mint and ricotta salata that Amanda Hesser brought to The Times in 2001. It's easy yet elegant; perfect for a impromptu weeknight dinner party. If you can get your hands on a Meyer lemon, do so and use that, but the recipe works just as well with a standard lemon from the corner deli.

Lobster With Pasta and Mint

Sicilian Pasta With Cauliflower
A favorite island vegetable combines with raisins and saffron to introduce a sweet element to a savory, salty mix. Cauliflower is a favorite vegetable in Sicily, though the variety used most often is the light green cauliflower that we can find in some farmers’ markets in the United States. I found the recipe upon which this is based in Clifford A. Wright’s first cookbook, “Cucina Paradiso: The Heavenly Food of Sicily.” And it is heavenly. The raisins or currants and saffron introduce a sweet element into the savory and salty mix.

Fettuccine With Roasted Mushrooms

Pasta con le Sarde
When the photographer and filmmaker Robert Trachtenberg brought this recipe to The Times in 2008, he described it as “a perfectly balanced combination of sardines, fennel, currants and bread crumbs.” Adapted from Gusto in Greenwich Village, this seafood pasta needs no cheese: The saltiness and bite from the sardines and the sautéed vegetables should be more than enough.

Pasta With Tomatoes and Beans
This pasta is one reason I always keep a few cans of tomatoes and cannellinis in my pantry. Beans contribute protein to this pasta, which makes a great vegan dish if you serve it without the cheese.
