Pasta nights are a staple in our household, but sometimes the usual spaghetti and meatballs can get a little dull. So if you’re loving charcuterie boards and looking for a unique way to serve pasta tonight, this savory pasta charcuterie board is perfect!
This DIY pasta board is a delicious and fun way to serve up your pasta. It’s so easy to customize, and you can use it for any pasta or sauce that you’d like to make. For parties, this would be perfect for "small plates" in addition to a few other easy appetizers.
If you're having a large gathering, I'd recommend using your Charcuterie Board for just the toppings and mix-ins. Then, serve the pasta in a large bowl instead of on the board. This will allow you to feed more people.
