How to Make Your Own DIY Pasta Bar for Your Family - Pronto! by Elisa Schmitz

Most kids love pasta, and there are so many different kinds to choose from. Do your kids prefer spaghetti or macaroni? Rotini or fettuccine? For fun, try a pasta bar one night each week.

Make a few different kinds of pasta and put them in bowls on the table. Next, set out several different sauces for them to try on top. Does fettuccine really taste better with Alfredo? How does it change when topped with marinara? Don't forget a variety of cheese choices such as Parmesan, Romano and even shredded cheddar.

Let your kids get creative. Have fun together experimenting and changing things up. Best of all, you'll have lots of leftovers for future meals!
