Famiware Pluto Pasta Bowls Set of 4 and 3 oz Dipping Sauce Dishes

Sunday night dinner. The pasta bowl holds a tangle of bucatini with garlic and oil, or a heap of rigatoni in a slow-cooked ragu. It is wide enough to toss the sauce through the strands, deep enough to keep the heat in. Four bowls, four people, one table. Beside each bowl sits a small dish for the dipping sauce — garlic butter, chili oil, a spoonful of pesto.

The dipping dishes are 3 oz each, just enough for a condiment or a side of olives. The set comes in four glazes from the Pluto collection — each one a different take on the same night sky. The bowls stack neatly, and the dishes tuck inside the top one. They do not chatter when you carry them to the sink.
