When it comes to Father’s Day, there’s something timeless about gathering around the table and serving up a meal that says "thanks for everything." No over-the-top speeches required. Just good food, full plates, and maybe a second helping or two.
Some of the best memories come from shared meals. And this Father’s Day, we’re leaning into bold flavors, satisfying textures, and recipes that feel as hearty and dependable as the dads we’re celebrating.
Here are a few of our favorite Father’s Day pasta dishes that go big on flavor and bring everyone together
1. Classic Meatballs with Spaghetti
There’s something nostalgic and grounding about this one. A big bowl of spaghetti paired with tender, flavorful meatballs is as classic as it gets. Our high-fiber spaghetti holds up beautifully to rich tomato sauces, making it perfect for this comfort dish that never goes out of style.
2. Creamy Parmesan Chicken Penne
If Dad's a fan of creamy pastas, this one checks all the boxes. Juicy chicken, garlic, and parmesan meet our bronze-cut penne for a dish that feels indulgent but is made with clean, pantry-friendly ingredients.
3. Forager's Mushroom Stroganoff with Herby Parmesan Noodles
Rich, earthy, and layered with umami, this one’s for the dad who appreciates the depth of flavor. Our durum wheat noodles soak up all that creamy stroganoff goodness, creating a dish that’s as comforting as it is elevated.
4. Deep Dish Pasta Pizza
Equal parts fun and filling, this recipe brings together everything Dad loves: pasta, pizza, cheese, and a crispy baked top. It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to dig in with a fork and forget about portion sizes.
5. Shrimp Scampi Pasta with Crispy Panko Crumbs
For something a bit lighter but still satisfying, shrimp scampi delivers. Tossed in garlic, lemon, and butter with a crispy panko topping, it’s a solid crowd-pleaser that feels fancy without the fuss.
6. Italian Orzo Pasta Salad
Bright, herby, and full of texture, this pasta salad makes a great side, or a whole meal if Dad’s in a lighter mood. Packed with fresh vegetables and tossed in a zesty dressing, this summer pasta salad pairs well with backyard grilling or Sunday lunch.
