Vegetarian? Can you say PASTA? yum yum yum

All of my favorite veggie dishes basically revolve around PASTA! Pasta putanesca (you can skip the anchovies), macaroni and cheese (family recipe - can pass it on if you like - excellent and easy), pasta with red pesto, Pad Thai (without the chicken and shrimps - still excellent), and just plain pasta with olive oil, tons of garlics and herbs on it - oh yum yum yum yum yum. We are on a serious diet here and I have not eaten pasta for like 4 weeks - and just thinking about it is making me droooooool.....
