Cooking - pasta ideas!

My family loves pasta. In fact, I think "love" is just too weak to describe how they feel about it. I'm always looking for new ideas, and I'm happy to share one of my own quick & easy family pleasers.

We've recently found a place that sells pappardelle's pasta - they offer pasta in a variety of flavors like tomato basil, spicy thai, and garden vegetable. They're not cheap, but good for a treat. Using these (angel hair or fetuccine) or regular pastas, I often boil those, then add:

- frozen pepper strips (mixed red/yellow/green)
- frozen chopped onion
- sometimes other veggies, like mushroom or asparagus (depending on the crowd)

For meat, I tend to use chicken breast strips or pre-cooked peeled shrimp.

For sauce, I get Clasico's sun-dried tomato basil pesto or their sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce. With the flavored pasta (and even unflavored), plus all of the other veggie tastes, we really use VERY little sauce.
This whole meal takes 15-20 minutes, max, to prepare. I tend to put the veggies, sauce, and chicken/shrimp in one pan to warm 'em up, and boil the noodles in another, then mix them together in a big bowl. Basically, it takes however long it takes the pasta to boil.

As I mentioned ages back, I started an indoor herb garden, and I'm now getting some fresh herbs to throw in - a bit of chopped basil and/or parsley goes a long way in pasta.

I'd love to hear other pasta ideas, particularly quick or easy!! I always tell my family that I'm not a spectacular cook, but if you want something decent to eat and want it pretty quickly, I'm your gal. :)

hello everyone!

I've been a hands on mom for ten years now.  But due to arising global crisis i have decided to go basck to work.  I applied for an online job as content writer.  I did submit all the requirements and writing assignments but i was really upset with the result. I believe i did what they asked me to do.Would anyone recommend any online jobs for moms like me?Because of the increasing expenses we have right now, i really need an xtra income. A home based job is the best.  Hope to hear from you guys!  God bless!

Anne

Online Work - AlpineAccess.com

I found alpineaccess.com and they have a whole hiring process and requirements for the computer. They do require that you have a good newer computer and a land line. I saw this on Good Morning America two years ago and they are based out of Boulder, CO.

So I was very interested and my husband tried them out when he got laid off last month. Anyway, to make a long story short, they are legitimate and it can be a long process from when you apply online to actually getting the job. If you already have admin/csr background really helps. Also a clear voice as they will require you to speak on the phone to record your voice for review. Not sexy but a nice clear well spoken voice.

Good luck and enjoy it.
