I did not realize there was a Pasta Day! To me it is every day. It is what I make when I have no idea what else I want to eat and I am hungry. I usually keep a couple of varieties in my pantry all the time--always some thin pasta and bowties.

I usually grab Barilla Pasta, Thin Spaghetti, or sometimes Ronzoni. I have even been known to grab the store brands on occasion (if they are on sale). Pasta comes in such a variety now--they have gluten free, wheat, vegetable--there is no excuse not to buy pasta anymore! When I was young I was actually allergic to wheat--and back then it was not easy finding pasta without it. Somehow my Mom found Spinach Pasta back then--luckily I out grew that allergy!!

I generally make it simple as I live alone--Like last night. Boiled up some spaghetti--opened a can of no salt tomato sauce-defrosted a hamburger. Mixed the hamberger and the sauce in a pot, covered with tin foil (I have no idea where the cover to that pot is). Of course DO NOT do what I did--When I was pouring the boiling water and spaghetti into a colander---I spilled the boiling water on my hand-OUCH. Once I put the meat sauce and pasta together--I added some Italian bread crumbs. It was delicious--but now I had a VERY sore hand!! I remembered one of my friends told me what to do but of course I had forgotten-so I called her--Mustard--any kind-spread it over the burn and wait for about 20 min-it does work but takes a while-Today my hand is fine!!!

There are so many ways I make pasta dishes--sometimes just butter and garlic powder--sometimes butter, cottage cheese and cinnamon and sugar (usually with the bowties)--sauce then add shrimp or maybe tuna--and many other ways as well. Just please be careful of that boiling water!!

How do you make pasta and what variety do you get most often?
