You could make macaroni & cheese with all of your opened pastas...
We love home-made mac & cheese at our house.
MMM Mac and Cheese sounds good! Or a baked ziti type of dish. Anything baked with cheese and sauce is always delicious...or some type of chicken and veggie and pasta casserole!
I wish I had a menu. I don't. I'm having shoulder surgery on Wednesday so I have a feeling I won't be cooking any time soon!! :(

A very light cooking week for me!
This coming Sunday I'll roast a whole chicken and do mashed potatoes & the whole deal ... partly to have cooked leftover chicken for future meals.
you guys are GREAT! thank you for the pasta ideas, recipes and menus...love it!
Pasta options: we love it with a bit of sauted onion, garlic and freshly grated cheese. Another easy choice is to throw it into a stew. Not that people in CA need to eat stews...
My favorite easy pasta recipes are chicken pesto pasta (chicken, pesto, pasta, cream or milk & parm. cheese). We also enjoy carbonara (I use a Rachael Ray recipe).

Monday- chili cornbread casserole, oranges, fresh veggies

Here's my favorite non-Italian way to make pasta...sorry I'm a little slow for your menu this week!
Mexican-Style Pasta Bake
6 oz dried bow tie pasta (2 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped red sweet pepper
1 1/2 TBSP butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 cups milk
3 oz Colby cheese, cubed or shredded
3 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 cup bottled salsa
1/3 cup halved olives
chili powder
Preheat oven to 400˚. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pan. In large saucepan cook onion and pepper in butter over medium heat about 5 minutes, ‘til tender. Stir in flour, salt and cumin. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Colby cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese, until cheese is melted. Pour over drained pasta and stir to combine. Layer half the pasta mixture, all the salsa, then remaining pasta mixture in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and olives. Sprinkle lightly with chili powder. Bake, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until bubbly around the edges and heated through. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
