Nordstrom: These Pasta Bowls Replaced My Plates - Shop Them and More Popular Brands at Nordstrom

Photo: Food & Wine / Nordstrom A few years ago, I took advantage of a cross-country move and an impending wedding to stock my kitchen with nicer versions of the cast iron cookware , knives, and plates I had bought for next to nothing after college. Some choices were easy - I knew I wanted a Vitamix blender , a Le Creuset Dutch oven , and a Cuisinart food processor - while others were more difficult. Namely, dinnerware pieces . I had no idea where to start, but after doing research and talking it through with my mom multiple times, I finally landed on a modern brand with an accessible price point called Fable . Over 800 days later, I can confidently report that its pasta bowls have made every other dish I own completely superfluous. I was understandably ecstatic when I discovered that Nordstrom sells Fable pasta bowls, making it even easier for friends and family to add a set to their own collections. To add to my excitement, I found other editor-loved brands, like Le Creuset and Our Place , hiding in the home goods section, too. The best part? Some are even on sale.

It's the ideal size for everything from fresh green salads to servings of apple cobbler, making it my go-to vessel for almost every meal of the day. Nordstrom has a nice selection of colors to choose from, including beachgrass green, cloud white, and pearl white, ensuring you'll find a shade that suits your personal style. To sweeten the deal even more, the retailer has marked down the set of four for a limited time. Do yourself a favor and add it to your cart while the bowls cost just $15 apiece. Le Creuset Vancouver Pasta Bowls, Set of 4 Nordstrom Nordstrom $72 at Nordstrom Food & Wine editors are just as likely to recommend Le Creuset's pasta bowls as they are to recommend the brand's famous cookware after finding the dishes to be "simple," "elegant," and "durable" during testing. Whether you're tossing them in the dishwasher after a saucy noodle dinner or heating up soup in the microwave or oven, these functional pasta bowls are "well worth the investment." Shop the set in five different colors. Our Place Dinner Bowls, Set of 4 Nordstrom Nordstrom $65 at Nordstrom Over 300 Nordstrom shoppers recommend this set of Our Place pasta bowls, calling them "sturdy," "dependable," and "versatile." With four timeless colors to choose from - all of which are dishwasher-, microwave-, and oven-safe - it's not surprising that so many people have fallen in love with these dishes. Devotees of the brand also appreciate how easily the bowls stack in their cupboards when it comes time to store them. Vietri Limoni Pasta Bowl Nordstrom Nordstrom $56 at Nordstrom If you're in the market for a pasta bowl that pops, this Vietri option should be the first on your list. It's made of earthenware clay, has a gorgeous lemon design that was inspired by the Amalfi Coast, and is safe to use in the dishwasher and microwave. It's also part of a wider collection, meaning you can grab cereal bowls , platters , and more for an Italian-themed tablescape that's perfect for warmer weather. Villeroy & Boch Rose Garden Individual Pasta Bowl Nordstrom Nordstrom $43 $21 at Nordstrom If lemons aren't your thing, give Villeroy & Boch's rose garden pasta bowl a whirl. It's the embodiment of elegance with its shiny white porcelain and delicate pink rosebud design. One shopper was more than impressed with their dish, writing that it's guaranteed to make every day feel "extra special." And like Vietri's, it's part of a larger set, so you can add coffee cups and dinner plates to your cupboards, too. My advice? Add a few of these bowls to your cart while they're 51% off at Nordstrom. Maison Madison Home Pasta Bowls, Set of 4 Nordstrom Nordstrom $120 at Nordstrom Maison Madison Home elevates its pasta bowls with a splash of color around the rim. They're simultaneously unique and chic without having to sacrifice any of the classic style that guarantees they will be in vogue for years to come.

Villeroy & Boch Manufacture Rock Blanc Pasta Bowl Nordstrom Nordstrom $51 $25 at Nordstrom Sold as individual dishes, Villeroy & Boch's black pasta bowl is designed to mimic the color and texture of slate for a natural look and austere vibe.
