Easy Italian Recipes for Beginners in 2024

If you’re looking for ideas for beginner Italian recipes in 2024, there are plenty of options out there. You’re not limited to basic spaghetti or other pasta dishes, either—some of the most authentic and unique options are relatively easy to make with the right ingredients and some basic steps.

Here at Nicola’s Marketplace, we offer some great beginner Italian recipes to try this year and beyond. Let’s take a look at some of our favorites:

Bucatini Cacio e Pepe

This is a lighter pasta dish that doesn’t require much effort while including some unique Italian ingredients. What makes this meal different from other pasta is its use of bronze die bucatini, which doesn’t take long to reach al dente firmness. In addition, you’ll add some cracked black pepper, olive oil, grated pecorino romano parmigiano reggiano cheeses, and a bit of salt. The cheese forms a delicious velvety sauce that tops off the dish.

Roasted Corn Ravioli With a Sweet Pepper Sauce

This is another reasonably easy dish to prepare using our signature roasted corn ravioli as the base ingredient. Adding to the many flavors in this dish is a combination of diced onion, sweet peppers, micro green garnishes, butter, and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. This ravioli will have your mouth watering with a nice change-up from conventional cheese ravioli.

Kielbasa & Kale Over Pasta

For something different from traditional red pasta sauce, consider our recipe using fresh tasty kale as a green replacement. This dish uses kielbasa sausage to add some meat, which you can replace with ring bologna, chorizo, or andouille. It also uses diced yellow onion, apple cider vinegar, and chicken stock (which you can substitute with water) to create a rich pasta meal using noodles of your choice.

Summer Vegetable Pasta Bake With Tomato Cream Sauce

Want a larger meal that can feed as many as six at your table? This original pasta bake recipe features large portions of our Spinach Rigatoni, fresh basil and parsley, onion, garlic, fresh kale, tomato, and zucchini in a rich blanket of mozzarella and cream. You can also substitute the veggies with your preferred alternatives.
