    I don't really eat pasta that much, there are a lot of other dishes that I like a lot more. But I do enjoy it, and the few times that I do eat it, I find myself enjoying Carbonara and Lasagna the most. I don't prepare them, though, I just order it in restaurants or my friends cook it sometimes too. What are some of your favorite pasta dishes and do you like to prepare them yourself?

    I don't know how to cook, so I can't prepare any dishes by myself, lol. But my favorite pasta dishes would be lasagna, spaghetti, macaroni and macaroni salad. I don't like carbonara that much.

    I've had carbonera once or twice and I liked it but it's not my favorite. I love lasagna but I've never tried to prepare it. The best I can do is stuffed shells, haha, but I like those a lot so it works out.

    I like a good fettuccini alfredo and I don't seem to ever make it myself so when we go out to eat, I do tend to order it. Spaghetti seems to be the one pasta dish that I make myself on a regular basis and after all these years, I do make a pretty good sauce. Lasagna seems to take a lot of work (and a lot of dirty dishes) to make so I will usually make at least two big ones at the same time and freeze one for later.

    Part of my heritage is italian and that is why I really enjoy that kind of food. In particular, I prefer all kinds of noodles and my favorite sauce to accompany this pasta is bolognese sauce. The ravioli and sorrentinos are also a very interesting option, but I like it less often. The gnocchi are a classic in the usual menu of my home. With the italian blood running through my veins I get the chance to enjoy such a special meal. It's a bit early to write about food, I have hungry. :eek:

    I absolutely love Pasta.. one of my biggest weaknesses. Add cheese to the mix and I need a 12 step program. My favorite is ravioli or lasagna, I can't really choose. And yes, I make it from scratch, I eat as little processed foods as possible and nothing beats fresh, so that means everything from scratch, from the pasta to the sauce.

    I love making tuna & pasta because it is so easy to make. I just get some pasta shells, some sauce and some tuna and within about 10 minutes I've got a lovely meal. :)

    My favorite pasta is just macaroni and cheese with real cheese, not the boxed stuff.
    I also like spaghetti and meatballs. I'm more of a fan of Asian food so I don't eat a lot of Italian pasta.

    I make lasagna about once every two weeks. I use organic ingredients and often vegetarian meat...it is so good! I think the secret to making awesome lasagna is to use lots of cheese. The great thing about lasagna is that it leaves great leftovers and is so easy to make!
    I also have a severe weakness for pesto so I often put together some pesto pasta for a quick dinner!

    Probably ricotta cavatelli with meatballs. I pretty much always make my own sauce and meatballs from scratch, but when I'm really up for it I will also make the cavatelli as well too.

    I love Lasagna and Chinese Rice with Sweet and Sour.. Yummy! But if you say fast food, there is nothing that could compare with Pizza...
