Favorite pasta dishes - Just for fun :-)

LOVE my pasta! Couldn't do without. We'll have pasta at least 1 to 3 times a week. I really like pasta primavera, DS loves when I make past vongole (pasta with mussels/clams/garlic). I am from Southern Germany, lots of Italian food. I make pasta with tomatoe sauce and mozarella, pasta with lentils, broccoli, leeks, carrots and LOTS of garlic, pasta with eggplant, sundried tomatoes and chilies and, yes, every once in a while, VERY unhealthy Spaghetti Carbonara. Pasta is so versatitle, you can make it very healthy, and not so healthy. I am a pasta addict and so are my kids. But I ALWAYS use whole wheat pasta.

Cook a package of bowtie pasta according to the package cooking time. Add a bag of broccoli florets during the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Drain and toss with 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 2 cups cooked, diced chicken and 1 jar of drained sundried tomatoes. Yum!
