Pasta Pots for Your Favorite Meals

Whether you're getting ready for a spaghetti feed for the whole family or preparing linguine to serve with clams for a weekend get-together with friends, having the right pasta cookware is a must. Pasta pots, also called pasta pentolas, are the perfect choice for any pasta lover's kitchen. Explore our selection of pots to find the one that's right for you.

Ways to Use a Pasta Pot

A pasta pentola is composed of three parts: a large stock pot, a colander insert and a lid. To use the pasta pot, pour water into the pot. Then add the colander insert and your desired amount of pasta. Don't forget to cover the pasta with more water, just as you would using a regular pot.

When your pasta is finished cooking, lift the colander insert to drain the water away. It's that quick and easy. Plus, when you use a pasta pot, you can preserve -- and add -- some of that leftover pasta water to your sauce as needed.

These pots are also helpful for preparing other foods. You can boil potatoes, blanch vegetables or steam shellfish. Remove the colander insert and use the stock pot for preparing large batches of your favorite soups and stews.

Pasta pots can be made from different materials, including stainless steel and copper. Stainless steel cookware provides exceptional durability. All-Clad's pasta pot features a heat-responsive aluminum core that's layered between stainless steel. It also features large loop handles that make it easy to lift the pot on and off the stovetop.

All-Clad cookware also features a pasta pentola designed with a copper core. The copper core is layered between aluminum and stainless steel. This provides excellent heat responsiveness. Stainless steel is easy to clean and won't react with any food you put in.

Mauviel has been crafting exceptional copper cookware since 1830. Their pasta pentola features a copper stockpot with a nonreactive tin lining and a stainless steel insert. Copper cookware is renowned for its ability to distribute heat quickly and evenly. It also helps regulate a consistent temperature while you cook.

Pasta: Cooking, Serving and Presenting

As you browse what pasta pots are available, don't forget to equip yourself with the perfect pasta-making kitchen utensils. Solid wooden spoons are great for stirring sauces. Nonstick pasta forks help you mix and lift noodles. Whatever pasta tools you need, you'll find them with us.

When you're ready to serve your pasta, make sure you have your favorite pasta bowls at the ready. Pasta bowls are typically wide and low. Their shallow bowl shape allows the pasta to spread out. This enhances the overall presentation of the pasta. The shallow design also helps the sauce to reach and cover all of your noodles.

Dipping bread into your pasta sauce is also easier thanks to the pasta bowl's wide design. We've got the perfect breads and side dishes to accompany your next pasta night. Choose from delicious options like sourdough loaves, focaccia bread and classic house rolls.

Whether using your pasta pot to make a quick and easy pasta dinner, to steam mussels, or to blanch broccoli florets, you'll turn to this versatile pot again and again.
