I have been a pasta lover and I crave much on white sauces. Some pasta dishes I like are: Chicken Pasta Salad is one of the best served with buttermilk biscuits. Fettuccini Alfredo is also superb. It's rich and creamy with either a sliced grilled chicken or shrimp. The secret taste of Parmesan OR Romano Cheese plus the whipping cream. A good food to start your day out.

Hi, I am also a pasta lover. Sometimes when I am not lazy, I will cook homemade pasta mushroom sauce. But when I feel lazy to cook the sauce, I might buy the ready-made one from the supermarket. They have different varities from Orginal,mushroom,or white sauce. I prefer the tomatoes with mushroom sauce ,but the one I used to cook myself is mushroom sauce(white one). It is pretty simple to prepare the sauce,but need time to do it. Just get ready the flour(fried the flour till brownish),chicken stock,sliced mushroom,minced garlic.seasonings. Firstly stir-fried the garlic ,then add in the sliced mushroom ,cook them for 10 mins. Pour in the chicken stock and simmer for 15 mins. Then slowly add in the flour,keep stirring till it gets thicken. Simple easy,right? Just pour the mushroom sauce over the fettucini or spaghetti and they will be a yummy pasta meal.

My favorite sauce is a mixture of tomato sauce and cream. Then, just about anything goes in the sauce, depending on what ingredients I have available. Normally, I love mushroom, chicken bits, tuna, sausage, bell pepper, ground meat, etc. Although not all together at once, probably just a combination of 2-3 items.

I also love pasta either with whites sauces or red sauces. My favorite is lasagna with seafood and lots of white sauce. I also like fettuccine alfredo, I will always order it when dining in a pizza parlor, but I don't know to make this pasta dish. My specialty is macaroni salad with chicken and lots of vegetables(potato,carrots and cabbage shredded)together with some cheese, sweet pickles in mayonnaise, decorated with seedless raisins and red colored sweet coco plum. My husband and kids love this dish so much, it is always present in family gatherings.

I am a pasta lover too. my favorite is seafood pasta. i find it tasty and lighter. The seafood ingredients (shrimps, squids, clams) is sautéed in olive oil and garlic, and then the cooked pasta (which is boiled in salted water) will be mixed in it...then of course a pasta wouldnt be complete without the parmesan cheese...yummy!

Chicken macaroni salad is a personal fav of mine...easy to prepare, and stores in the fridge for a good amount of time :)
