Selecting a menu for a large dinner party is tricky. You don't want to choose dishes that require last-minute preparation, and you need to pick recipes that will feed a crowd (or can easily be doubled to do so) and consider the dietary needs of your guests. Luckily, the majority of my friends are adventurous eaters and while two girls don't eat meat, they do eat fish and cheese.

If you're in the mood for a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, but want something other than a traditional tomato sauce, I highly recommend this creamy pesto dish! A tasty blend of bread and seasoning, the meatballs that dot the pasta are scrumptious with the perfect texture.Both the pesto and meatballs are simple to make, but do require time. The best thing about this recipe is it makes a lot, so save some for a later date.

Fresh pesto, tossed with pasta is one of my favorite summer meals. Although I'm tempted to make basil pesto in the Spring, I don't because basil is not in season yet. Luckily, there are lots of other scrumptious vegetables that can be used instead of basil.

When you find yourself in a boring food rut, think outside the box. Pair ingredients or dishes that you wouldn't normally associate with one another— like tacos and pasta — together for a whole new taste experience. In this recipe, instead of stuffing a taco, a classic ground beef filling is tossed with pasta.

The other night I caught an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay. In it Bobby was challenging a Mike Maroni in a meatball battle. While Bobby's version of meatballs looked quite tasty, Mr. Maroni's made me drool.

Since today is National Garlic Day I naturally had to point out one of the most famous garlic scenes in movie history. Do you remember the prison dinner scene in Goodfellas? You know the one where Paul Sorvino is slicing ridiculously thin pieces of garlic with a razor blade?

Spaghetti carbonara could be my all time favorite pasta dish. It's light and creamy to taste and quick and easy to make. Crisp pancetta, dry white wine, gooey eggs, and melted Parmesan cling to the pasta for a meal that is sheer perfection.

A few months ago, I told you about the motorized Twirling Spaghetti Fork, and well what do you know? Today we've got the low-tech version. It's still a twirling spaghetti fork, but this time you've got to actually put your fingers at the top and push down.

When most people think of spaghetti, they usually think of a hearty tomato sauce, pesto or olive oil. However, spaghetti is a versatile pasta that works well with many other cuisines. I love to use it in many Asian style dishes, including a basic noodle stir-fry.
