I'm putting off going to town today. I sooo don't want to go that I'm
even doing housework to avoid it. How desperate is that!!!
Hunger finally got the best of me and I needed something good, easy
and NOW.

I put some whole wheat spaghetti on to cook. While that was going I
drizzled a little olive oil in the bottom of my 12" skillet, enough to
fill the bottom and started chopping up about 4 cloves of garlic. When
the oil was heated up I put the garlic in for a quick sauté and during
the last few seconds, sprinkled in some red pepper flakes.

When the pasta was done I plated it and drizzled it with the olive oil
and garlic. I decided it needed a little more of a kick so I added
more red pepper flakes and some freshly ground black pepper.
mmmm I'm happy now.

Maybe I'll want to go to town later.

Sound very nice, all but the whole wheat pasta--I have never found one that
could be cooked al dente, at least by me! But I love simple dishes like this
with regular pasta. I would have to have just a little grated parmesan,
maybe a sprinkle of diced fresh garden tomatoes.

I use Trader Joe's brand. For my taste it's the best I've found so
far. I don't cook the ww pasta al dente. I really cook it.
I don't care for ww pasta al dente and I've tried several different
brands.

I don't care for ww pasta al dente, too undercooked tasting for me.
I just cook the heck out of it and enjoy the ww flavor.

Prior to learning of my food allergies, a favorite quick meal was whole
wheat spaghetti, tons of freshly ground black pepper, a bit of Italian
seasoning, a little butter and some parmesan cheese, all mixed together.
Sometimes I'd toss in a few kidney beans. Ah... Wish I could eat some now!

That's very good too. I usually use cannellini beans in that dish.

Bummer about the food allergies.
