 LOL....Sorry, couldn't resist...seems like it's been a 'catty' kind of day around here LOL..... Anyways my "serious" question is: What kind of pasta/sauce side dish should I have with dinner?  I have a VERY picky family and am sick of mac 'n cheese!  I have a lemon/garlic/pepper pork loin cooking in the CP and I want to do something different for a change for a side...I am craving pasta....but not sure what kind of pasta or what kind of sauce for the pasta.... Any ideas?  Oh, fyi, also having corn and crescent rolls w/ it...

what about some pasta with halved cherry tomatoes, basil, chopped red onion(half) and drizzled with little bit of extra virgin olive oil, some salt and pepper   maybe a bit of parm. cheese?     i have been craving that.

 You could do a pasta casserole too. Are you interested in pasta with meat or just seasoned pasta and sauce. You could do alfredo sauce. Ooh why not mix your pork loin in some sauce with the pasta and the corn and rolls. That can be a meal in itself. Thats about all I can think of. I did the chicken rigatoni pasta today, yours sound really yummy too :)

Sometimes I'll do spaghetti with olive oil and garlic. (and some parmesan cheese) I just toss it in olive oil and "cheat" with some garlic powder and garlic salt to taste. It's good and very simple.

I had to go to the store real quick before I got any answers back :( but that does sound kinda good--they won't eat it, but I will (well, except for tomatoes)...I'll have to try it sometime.  Thanks!

My girls prob would do alfredo, but DH won't (he's worse than the kids on pickiness!)...we went with a white four cheese sauce (some powdered mix the girls picked out at the store).  I like your casserole idea tho...I'm gonna try that sometime--it could be kinda like a homemade potpie!
