Sometimes You Need Pasta

I think the simplest pasta recipes are the best. You do need a very good pasta (Barilla is my favorite brand); make your own if you're so inclined. Pasta with Garlic and Cheese is ready in about 10 minutes, and is full of color and flavor. Serve it with Cranberry Almond Green Salad and Caramelized Onion Focaccia. For dessert, Cookie Yogurt Pie is very easy and a great ending.
