Tips for Serving Pasta on Thanksgiving

Choose Short Pasta for Casseroles

Penne, rigatoni, rotini, and ziti work especially well for baked Thanksgiving pasta recipes.

Don’t Overcook the Pasta

If you’re baking pasta, cook it 1–2 minutes less than the package directions. It will continue cooking in the oven.

Prepare Sauces Ahead

Cream sauces and cheese sauces can often be prepared earlier in the day. Reheat them gently before combining with pasta.

Keep Pasta Warm

If you’re serving pasta as a side dish, keep it covered and add a small amount of sauce or reserved pasta water if it begins to dry out.

Garnish Before Serving

Fresh parsley, Parmesan, sage, toasted nuts, or cracked black pepper can make even a simple pasta dish look holiday-worthy.
