Since I moved to my new unit last March, I didn't get to have the luxury of cooking anymore since I returned the rusted electric stove the owner included in the rent. So, I had to put up with steaming food, usually fish and hotdogs, using the rice cooker. But, the past month, I kinda got fed up with eating just that and ordering fast food when I feel like eating something else so I tried cooking using the rice cooker. Mine is just a small one. About up to five cups of rice can be cooked in it. Anyhow, I tried using it to cook pasta. Twas a success. Though, it took longer time to cook both the sauce and the pasta. I loved the taste. I wasn't expecting it would turn out good since I am not used to cooking that way. And pretty a number of people like the dish, too. ^_^ Gives me a sense of pride. hehe After that day, I started watching YouTube for more pasta recipes. Learned techniques how to cook different pasta sauces the original and authentic way. One of my big time favorites is the Marinara sauce. And am excited to try it one of these days. Hopefully, not with the rice cooker anymore, though. I am praying for a two burner stove that will fit my small kitchen. An electric one will do as it will require space if I get one which uses LPG tank. I should prolly add it to my Christmas wish list and may God answer my prayer. I am into red sauces, by the way. And really spicy ones. I like creamy sauces and white sauces, as well. Not so much of the oil-based, though. My tummy's grumbling as I write this. haha Pasta lovers, share your stories and gimme more ideas to consider. ^_^

I am a pasta lover too though I am not good in cooking sauce for it. I usually buy the ready made sauce for pasta and just heat it up.

i love pasta with a white sauce with shrimp. it is so yummy but i don't get it very often because it is pretty fattening.

I'm not obsessed with pasta, but I love it, too. I'm not too much into red sauces, though... or I like it when the red sauce on it is little and drier. I love whiter ones... I love spaghetti carbonara or cheese sauce or chicken paprika with sour cream sauces. Yummy!

I like pasta too. You may try the pesto too. It's delicious. You may try tomato sauce with tuna and mushroom with basil. It is more delicious. :-) I'm gettinng hungry now. Have a nice day!
