Peach Blackberry Upside Down Cake

This peach blackberry upside down cake is an awesome dessert to go with spaghetti because the peach and blackberries are a beautiful, fresh complement to the pasta. They’re paired with a really moist, delicious, and simple cake that really lets the fruit shine.

Cannoli

You can’t have a spaghetti post without the traditional Italian dessert cannoli! This dessert with a creamy filling and crunchy shell will be a really nice ending to your spaghetti dinner.

Tiramisu

Tiramisu is another authentic Italian dessert that is sure to impress your guests. Layers of ladyfingers dipped in coffee with a sweet mascarpone mixture in-between is what dreams are made of (and this is actually MY personal favorite dessert!).

Dutch apple pie from the top.

Dutch Apple Pie

You’d be hard-pressed to find too many people that would turn down a slice of homemade apple pie. This recipe often even finds people going back for a second slice (or third- who’s counting?!). The Dutch topping on this apple pie really gives it an extra oomph that your guests will rave about.

Dark chocolate brownies are a great dessert to go with spaghetti.

Dark Chocolate Brownies

These dark chocolate brownies are dense and fudgy, but the salt cuts through that to make them really well-balanced and delicious. This is my go-to for when I’m having company over, because I constantly have friends and family asking for the recipe after they take one bite!

Madeline’s

If you’ve got the special pan for it, these madeline’s will be an awesome pairing for your spaghetti dinner. Light and airy with crisp edges, these will be a delicate and delicious ending to your evening.

Homemade rice krispie treats up close.

Homemade Rice Krispie Treats

I make these homemade rice krispie treats all. the. time. This dessert will bring your guests back to their childhood but in a grown-up sort of way that will knock their socks off. It features brown butter so it has a flavor that will keep you making these over and over!

Gelato

An Italian post wouldn’t be made complete without the inclusion of a gelato option. Gelato uses more milk and less heavy cream than traditional ice cream. Your guests will think they’re in Italy for the evening if you make this traditional gelato for them!

Affogato

Last, but certainly not least, an affogato will impress your (adult) guests with your creativity. Made by pouring espresso over gelato with a shot of liqueur, this will be a really fun end to your spaghetti dinner.
