Pasta dishes, in any form, are a truly glorious thing. It's the go-to comfort food for many, one of the easiest dishes to prepare and is truly what people miss the most when embarking on carb-free diets (you brave, brave souls). What's best about pasta in my opinion, however, is its versatility. The warm, soft noodles can carry almost any flavor well.
These particularly peculiar pasta dishes truly put that idea to the test. Everything from lasagna sub sandwiches to boob-shaped noodles and back to multicolored spaghetti has been tried, tested, photographed and posted online by the bravest Internet foodies out there. Ranging from the delectable to the downright scary, these peculiar pasta recipes will blow your mind and make your tummy rumble.
