So you’ve just prepared a delicious meal for yourself. But you want it to look as good as it tastes right? You need the right piece of dinnerware to showcase your dish, and that’s where a pasta bowl comes in handy. Otherwise known as a “blate,” this hybrid dish is a cross between a bowl and plate. It’s wide and shallow, with a raised lip — and it’s what your kitchen cabinet has been missing.

Food & Wine readers and Amazon shoppers just can’t get enough of this style of pasta bowl, and right now there are so many different styles on sale for Prime Day. They’re so popular thanks to the fact that they're both versatile and practical: They can accommodate rice, salad, noodles, pasta, and soup, and double as serving dishes. The raised lip gives your fork more leverage than a plate can provide, and unlike a bowl, ingredients don’t get buried or lost. Plus, you can mix together ingredients without any spilling over the side.

Prices start at just $20 on stylish and functional pasta bowls. But Prime Day ends at midnight tonight, so be sure to grab your favorite set before the sale is over. Below, discover our picks for the best deals on your new favorite piece of dinnerware.
