I would be willing to bet that most of us have at least one package of spaghetti in your pantry. And I would double down to say you are tired of making just plain old spaghetti with it. There are really lots of options that go far beyond red sauce over noodles, that make for great sides and main dishes. In an effort to help you try lots of different recipes, I have put together a collection of 9 Recipes Using a Pack of Spaghetti Noodles for you to check out.

A few key kitchen tools you may want to have to hand when it comes to making these Spaghetti Noodles recipes.

1. Fine Mesh Colanders – I love fine mesh colanders as you don’t have to worry about losing your ingredients through the larger slots or holes. And you definetly need a quality strainer to make your pasta for the recipes.
2. A Pasta Fork & Tongs – a pasta fork is a great asset when making the best spaghetti noodles you can.
3. Quality Spaghetti Noodles – in case you do not have enough pasta in your pantry – this brand is one of my favorites.

And without further adieu – here are My Favorite Recipes using Spaghetti Noodles Recipes from the blog!

Chiptotle Spaghetti – Spaghetti is a staple in most family kitchens. Everyone has their own version of the meaty red sauce over Spaghetti noodles. For this version I’ve taken things a little south of the border with some Chipotle, Cumin and Cilantro making an appearance in the meaty red sauce. We really enjoyed the smoky heat of this Chipotle Spaghetti. And it is a great way to sneak in some extra veggies without anyone really noticing.

Easy Bacon Garlic Pasta – Sometimes you just really want to big plate of simple pasta – either as the base for some protein or as a meal on its own. This super simple sauce makes plain pasta taste exceptional – and who can resist some crispy bacon added in. Easy Bacon Garlic Pasta is going to be something you want to make again and again.

Simple Sausage Pasta – Sausage, pasta and tomatoes are a classic combo, especially when it comes to weeknight meals. But you don’t always want to go for a fun red sauce. This simple creamy parmesan sauce with diced tomatoes makes for a delicious marriage between the Italian sausage and linguini. My recipe for Simple Sausage Pasta is a must for the monthly dinner menu rotation.

Italian Sub Pasta – Sometimes I have these cravings to eat a specific flavor combination but don’t necessarily want to eat it in the typical way. For example, I was really craving an Italian Sub loaded with ham, salami, pepperoni and soppressata and covered in pepperoncini and Italian dressing. But I wasn’t in the mood for a sandwich. So I put on the thinking cap and come up with this pasta dish and whoa is it good! Italian Sub Pasta is such a tasty dish, my kids have already asked for it again.

Spaghetti & Meatball Soup -I didn’t think you could make the classic comfort food of Spaghetti & Meatballs even more homestyle – but turns out you can! Spaghetti & Meatball Soup is like a warm hug in a bowl of hearty goodness. The mini meatballs are the perfect addition to this tomato broth, along with some bell peppers and pasta. So if you are looking for an extra comforting, feels like home meal, this is the one for you.

Shrimp Chow Mein – Chinese fakeaway is so perfect for weeknight meals. It is almost always a super quick recipe to pull together, with simple ingredients that you probably already have. This quick dinner idea for Shrimp Chow Mein is great for a family meal but also really good for a meal prep plan. You have your protein, starch and veg all together.

Creamy Garlic Chicken – I like to cook with bone-in chicken because it just gives that extra layer of flavor. I understand it’s not always the easiest to eat, but it is so worth the delciousness. This recipe for Creamy Garlic Chicken is bursting with flavor from the thyme, roasted red peppers and garlic. And the cream and parmesan make for a velvety sauce to pull it all together over buttery pasta.

Chciken Noodle Salad – Oh these hotter days at the end of summer, I start to look for ways to limit the stove use at the hottest part of the day. I love a cold salad that can have the cooked components that can be made in the morning, so that they fully cool before combining them for the dinner meal. This Chicken Noodle Salad is just what you need on those too hot to cook days. A spicy Thai-inspired cold noodle salad full of veggies and great flavor with a homemade lemongrass dressing.

Spring Chicken Spaghetti– This recipe got rave reviews from the whole family, especially enjoying the cream sauce. It is such a velvety sauce that takes very little effort but comes out with so much great flavor. The carrots add a note of sweetness to the sauce and it’s balanced out by the saltiness of the parmesan cheese. This recipe for Spring Chicken Spaghetti is a lovely change of pace for your weeknight meals.
