My only experience with pasta side dishes are the horrible boxed things that
my mom used to buy. Like Noodleroni or Noodles Romanoff. Well, I guess
that's not quite true. I used to make egg noodles tossed with butter and
parsley. But I have no egg noodles now. Just assorted other shapes of
whole wheat pasta.

Do you make any sort of side dishes that use this kind of pasta? I have a
lot of it and need to make more of an effort to use it up. And I am
planning to make some plain meats this week so I need a side. Could also
use ideas for rice. Brown rice. Have made Rice e Bisi but have not tried
it with brown rice.

I will likely not be eating these foods so they could contain pretty much
anything except for basil because Angela can't have that. I mainly just
make plain rice or Spanish/Mexican rice but I seem to be the only fan of
those things.

Help!
