Plates just don't cut it when it comes to pasta. Pile your spaghetti onto a plate's flat bottom, and you risk the sauce spilling over. However, use a cereal bowl, and your fettuccine suddenly doesn't feel as fancy. 

With their flat bottoms, wide bases, and curved sides, pasta bowls are specially designed to hold your favorite noodles. That means they let you toss to your heart's content and help keep the sauce contained inside and away from staining your top. We polled EatingWell editors on their favorite pasta bowls that they rely on for pasta, plus some. Here are their top recs.

What we like: The pottery aesthetic instantly elevates any meal's presentation, and it's both versatile and durable. 

What to know: Some colorways are more prone to cutlery markings than others.

The Haand Ripple Large Pasta Bowl is the perfect pick for pottery and ceramics lovers looking to level up their kitchen aesthetic. "It’s a piece that’s handmade and well worth grabbing if you want a bowl that’s equally as high in quality as it is useful," says EatingWell food writer Kristin Montemarano. While Montemarano loves all of Haand's pieces, this ripple bowl aligns with her personal style the most. "This is a special bowl! The organic edges and incredible colors make every dish look better," she says. 

Plus, the size and shape keep it versatile for everything. Each bowl is 8 inches in diameter and holds up to 20 ounces, so it's large enough for heaping servings of easy penne dishes and weeknight stews. While white porcelain holds up well, some colorways show more cutlery markings than others, so if marks are a concern, avoid the Matte White, Buttermilk Pink, Celadon, Coquina and Terra.
