Seafood-Pasta Arrabbiata

This pasta dish is one of our favorites, and it's a nice one to prepare if you have the time to make your own pasta sauce from scratch. Arrabbiata, which means angry in Italian, is a spicy red sauce. Mike always has to remind me how to pronounce it: ah-rah-bee-AH-tah. If you're not a fan of spicy, go easy on the spice, or omit it altogether.

Fast Pasta Dinner

This quick dish was a staple around my house when my mom was too busy with school. It's great when you need to throw together something warm in almost no time at all, and it works with ingredients you can keep around forever. It even works in the summer, so long as it's not too hot to use the stove.

Veggie Pasta al Pomodoro

Looking for a way to use up some veggies you just came home with? Have an intense fascination with pasta? If so, you just might be my better half. We came home with an eggplant, a summer squash, a couple tomatoes, some broccoli, and an onion from a previous week. After a little searching, we decided to make a fresh and light pasta al pomodoro.
