Famiware Saturn 4 Pieces Pasta Bowls Set

This is the bowl for a Tuesday night dinner, when pasta is the whole meal and the sauce comes from what is already in the cupboard. It sits wide and low, so rigatoni or shells lie in a single layer instead of steaming into a clump in a deep bowl. Four bowls fill a table, and each one carries enough weight to stay where you put it.

Buy the smaller pasta bowls instead if yours mostly carry side salads, lunch portions, or a child's serving. This size holds a full dinner portion, and the cupboard space it takes is the honest trade. If pasta is not the meal you sit down to most nights, the smaller bowl fits your hand more naturally and leaves the counter less crowded.
