Pasta isn't just for Italian food anymore. Now there are tasty pasta recipes found in Asian cuisine, and it's emerging as a newfound love for vegans.

Not only are pasta dishes delicious, but they are also great, easy options for a quick dinner during a busy weekday.

The cooking standards for Italian food are less demanding than for French. All you need are some fried mozzarella and five pastas, and you're in business.

Well, I'm Italian, but my family isn't stereotypical. I mean, I only have one sister and we don't yell or throw pasta at each other. My mother doesn't even have a secret spaghetti sauce recipe.

Italian food is all about ingredients and it's not fussy and it's not fancy.

As a matter of fact, I've been to Italy many times before I met my husband, which he can't even imagine that I could possibly know anything about Italian food. But, you know, Italian food's really basic, and there's so many different variations on it that what my husband did is he broke it down for me.

Pasta is the one food I can't live without. It's the food I eat to fuel my running.

I've always been able to cook Italian food. That's in my blood because I'm half Sicilian.

I do love pasta. It gets me into trouble. If I could give up pasta and bread, I'd look like Cate Blanchett.
