Classic Pasta Dinners and Italian Baked Recipes are the Ultimate in Comfort Foods!

This collection of Italian baked recipes and other Italian meals are all of my family favorite meals. I entertain very frequently and often prepare one of my Italian one dish meals because of all of the advantages:

One dish meals often combines a protein, a starch, cheese and vegetables with some types of sauce. As the dish bakes, the sauce helps to hold the different ingredients together. My most common sauces used in my baked Italian recipes are either a tomato based or white béchamel based. Bechamel is a fancy French word to describe a sauce made from butter, flour and milk. It is a thick sauce that continues to thicken as it bakes and is delicious with pasta.
