I'm putting off going to town today. I sooo don't want to go that I'm even doing housework to avoid it. How desperate is that!!! Hunger finally got the best of me and I needed something good, easy and NOW.
I put some whole wheat spaghetti on to cook. While that was going I drizzled a little olive oil in the bottom of my 12" skillet, enough to fill the bottom and started chopping up about 4 cloves of garlic. When the oil was heated up I put the garlic in for a quick sauté and during the last few seconds, sprinkled in some red pepper flakes. http://i16.tinypic.com/4p0fshy.jpg
When the pasta was done I plated it and drizzled it with the olive oil and garlic. I decided it needed a little more of a kick so I added more red pepper flakes and some freshly ground black pepper. mmmm I'm happy now. http://i9.tinypic.com/5xzukbk.jpg

Maybe I'll want to go to town later.
Sound very nice, all but the whole wheat pasta--I have never found one that could be cooked al dente, at least by me! But I love simple dishes like this with regular pasta. I would have to have just a little grated parmesan, maybe a sprinkle of diced fresh garden tomatoes.
I use Trader Joe's brand. For my taste it's the best I've found so far. I don't cook the ww pasta al dente. I really cook it. I don't care for ww pasta al dente and I've tried several different brands.

I don't care for ww pasta al dente, too undercooked tasting for me. I just cook the heck out of it and enjoy the ww flavor.

Prior to learning of my food allergies, a favorite quick meal was whole wheat spaghetti, tons of freshly ground black pepper, a bit of Italian seasoning, a little butter and some parmesan cheese, all mixed together. Sometimes I'd toss in a few kidney beans. Ah... Wish I could eat some now!

That's very good too. I usually use cannellini beans in that dish.
