If you are a fan of this Mediterranean specialty, then here is our top 5: the best pastas.

Lasagna

Without a doubt, this is one of the most acclaimed dishes of Italian export. The secret lies, as with all dishes from this European country, in using fresh ingredients. This recipe includes tomatoes, oregano, ground meat, a touch of sugar, and basil, so it has all the Italian flavor. It is also very important to use parmesan and mozzarella cheese to give it that traditional taste. View the full recipe here: http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/pastas/lasana/lasana

Spaghetti a la puttanesca

This pasta is typical of southern Italy, where they love to mix sweet and savory to achieve strong and unusual flavors. In this case, the ingredients you'll need are olives, capers, anchovies, oregano, and peperoncino. The spiciness of the chili flakes combined with the saltiness of the anchovies and capers goes very well with the freshness of parsley and the silky texture of parmesan. This is a classic you can't miss. View the full recipe here: http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/pastas/spaghetti-a-la-puttanesca

Pasta amatriciana

If you need a quick but delicious recipe to get out of a pinch without sacrificing flavor, we recommend the amatriciana. It is a pasta with tomato sauce, bacon, and spicy garlic. It won't take you more than half an hour to have it ready, and that spicy tomato flavor goes very well with the Mexican palate.

Fettuccine Alfredo

At any Italian restaurant you go to, you can find their version of this classic dish. The reality is that it is not complicated at all and is just about the quality of the ingredients you use. Once your pasta is al dente, you just need to mix it with the parmesan, cheese, and butter preparation, then season to taste. We recommend adding plenty of pepper, as this spice pairs very well with white sauce pastas. View the full recipe here: http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/pastas/fettuccine-alfredo-con-jamon
