@Gwynhuever: pareho diay ta! Thanks for starting this thread, I got to try some of the stuff posted here...I like cooking pasta because it's something you can whip up in a short amount of time... I usually make sauces in large batches (when I have time) and then freeze whatever is left over in small containers. So when I'm craving for pasta, all I have to do is cook the noodles and reheat the sauce...

Here's a simple recipe of a pasta dish I ate this lunch...

Garlic Shrimp Linguine
Ready in 30 min SERVES 8

INGREDIENTS
1 pound uncooked linguine
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons white wine (I like using dry white wine, rather than the sweet variety)
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined


DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat; add wine, cheese, garlic, parsley, chili flakes and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Increase heat to medium high and add shrimp to skillet; cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until shrimp begins to turn pink. Do not overcook.
Divide pasta into portions and spoon sauce on top; garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.

My friends like their pasta smothered in Mozzarella cheese rather than Parmesan, so you can try that too...
