Tell us, when have you ever said NO to some cheesy, well-seasoned, scrumptious pasta? Drooling already? But wait for it...
You know, Pasta is like that one ex who you don't love obviously but have a little casual chat every now & then. So, you might not be in love with pasta per se, but you will definitely have a bite or two once in a while.
Now let's depicture that monotonous image of this Italian treat in your head and take you through a brand new perception of pasta dishes which you can savour with the same fondness & emotions.
1. Spaghetti Pasta
Is it noodles? Is it a garment? Nooo its a kind of pasta guys. Spaghetti is one of the most versatile & elegant types of pasta. And we would really recommend you to find a nice place with good chefs who know their spices because this dish though simple can be ruined by inexperience. The best part of pasghetti (Yeah thats how your kids will pronounce it because it is a hard word. Cute right?) is that it's nice & steady at the first sight but as soon as it goes into your mouth you feel a tangy kick in your heart. Ah! Heaven.

2. Pasta Samosa
Next on our list is our beloved Pasta Samosa. Say whaaaa? Yes, this one is going on for a while because people got bored of the same Indian filling in a samosa and thought of innovating it with some Italian twist, ergo pasta samosa. It is as delicious as the original one, some say it's even better than the same-old aalo one. The pasta samosa is made by cooking the pasta separately and then filling it in the stomach of samosas. These days pasta samosa has become quite common & almost all the creative samosa-making outlets serve you this pasta dish with a smile!!

3. Pasta Dosa
Dosa is the pride of our extended leg to the south. You've probably definitely heard about plain dosa, masala dosa or even cheese dosa but pasta dosa? We are living in an era of fusion of clothes, cultures & food and pasta dosa is one of the most bizarre kinds of combination but it tastes super-aaeeyyoooo-yummy. The way you've accepted all the other kinds of dosa, just open your arms for this one too & you won't be disappointed.

4. Mac n Cheese Pasta
Mac & Cheese stands for Macaroni & about 100 pounds of cheese (not literally). It's much easier to make at home but you don't have to because there are ample of places in town that now serve delightful Mac n Cheese. And you'll know its a real thing when it is creamy yet sticky with a parmesan aroma all over your face.

5. Lasagna Pasta
If you don't already know this, we will sincerely inform you that a basic Lasagna has cheese, flat-pasta, marinara sauce & some more cheese. It is one of the best pasta dishes you can ever have anywhere. Although you got to find a good place to have lasagna because not everyone can create the ethereal magic of a thousand layers of cheese, pasta & marinara.

6. Pasta Salad
It isn't the healthy kind but it's a tasty kind. And how can we keep you away from the yummy treats with pasta-stic essence? Imagine a bowl full of green lettuce, red&yellow bell peppers, some tangy olives, chicken shreds (or cottage cheese if you are a vegetarian) & some sweet-some pasta. Did you feel the farm fresh breeze too?

7. Pasta Sandwich
Sandwiches are known to be one of the most adjusting dishes of all time. You can literally make a sandwich of anything and everything. Hell, there's even a movie called Sandwich (A Hindi one with Govinda & all the confusion. Not very known but if you've seen it you'll know what we're talking about). Anyway, pasta sandwich tastes exactly the way you think it does. All the flavours & susceptibility of this dish depends on the cook who's preparing it. But if you haven't had a bite of this dish then we propose you to try it out at least once or make it at home, because why not!!

9. Pasta Pizza
If pizza can go with pineapple topping then it can go with anything. And pasta and pizza are brothers from the same mother although with different attributes and they are allowed to collaborate to create a new dish, hence, pizza pasta. In most cases, the topping turns out to be mac n cheese but you can always find variety if you dig deeper.
