Default Favorite pasta?

I had gotten kind of burned out on pasta and we hadn't eaten it in a while.
But then my mom called and asked me to pick up a certain kind of whole wheat
noodles for her. So we went to Central Market, knowing they have a big
pasta section and hoped they would have them. Well they did!

But they also had all sorts of gluten free pasta that was new to us. We
bought a package of each, including a big bag of expensive Radiatore
imported from Italy.

I cooked the Radiator tonight and oh my is it good! Fred Meyer had a
ridiculous sale on their own brand of pasta sauce with a large jar for 99
cents! Normally I would pass up such thing, fearing high fructose corn
syrup or soybean oil. But this stuff didn't have that at all. I chose a
jar with several cheeses in it. Added a little more cheese because I had a
small chunk of Parmesan and another of Asiago. More Parmesan on top. Yes,
the granular stuff. I don't know why but my husband and daughter prefer
that kind. It wasn't even Kraft. It was the Hytop brand.

But the end result? Excellent! I made extra because we'll need a lot of
quick meals this week. Gonna make the meatloaf later to have tomorrow. And
then we'll have the leftover pasta the day after that. Yum!
