Pasta really is the food of the gods. Delicious, often cheap and devilishly romantic; it can transport us to the shores of Siciliy or the Appenine mountains with one simple mouthful.

And Fri 25 October is World Pasta Day, so we are here to share some fantastic recipes and to inspire you for as cheap as £1.

Whether you make your own or buy it, pasta is a happy food, one to be shared with loved ones, one to be experienced and not rushed.

So whilst the water boils... happy pasta day, and as Sophia Loren said "Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti."

Vegan Pasta
Orzo is similar to risotto in some ways. It is a type of pasta, consisting of small, rice-like grains. It is light and delicious, and can be used in pasta salads, soups and mixed with broth to form a thick, creamy consistency – much like risotto. This recipe is perfect for both lunch and dinner – it’s cheap, filling and pretty kid-friendly! We know it will become a firm favourite.

Vicky from the MoneyMagpie team is a keen forager and absolutely swears by wild garlic pesto. Whilst this isn't in season at the moment it is worth saving for the Spring time. Click the video below to see how it is made and then boil your choice of pasta in salted water and add a spoonful of the pasta water to the pesto and pasta, and mix... Bellisimo.
