As much as I love receiving presents, I also think very much about what I am going to give. For Husband I have a few ideas in mind (although he continually insists that NO he wants NOTHING), and for any person who has a birthday I mull over and consider deeply what nifty or cool gift I can give them. The planning and thinking around the gifts always makes me excited and eager to hurry up and just give the present already!
I'm very excited about this opportunity to giveaway, as it's been a while. I do wish I could give a prize to EACH blog reader, but alas, I am not independently wealthy in that way. (I've yet to reach Oprah status.) However, I sometimes do get really generous sponsors who are willing to give me great products to giveaway. This time the sponsor of this really wonderful giveaway are the folks over at Golden Grain Pasta. They are allowing me to give away a Cuisinart four piece pasta/steamer se
t and four boxes of their brand new whole grain pasta line, which is heart healthy and fiber-full. As I am a frequent user of the pasta insert on my pot, I can tell you that it is a great way to cook pasta to perfection.
Even if you don't win, you can get a $1 coupon to try the NEW, fiber-full, heart-healthy Golden Grain whole grain pasta line, by going to their Facebook page and "liking" it.

Garlic Scallion Noodles is my family's favorite! I just made it for my 3 kids (2 older ones are very picky eaters - my 3rd loves to eat!) along with the Asian Salmon. They along with my husband can eat this anytime...when I'm feeling desperate about their food intake (not my husband's, just my kids), I always make this dish!
Hi Joanne! I've posted here sporadically here a couple times I think, so I hope you don't think I'm just some random person who's commenting to win your prize - I mean I am commenting to win your prize but I have been regularly reading your blog for a while! :) My favorite pasta dish that you've posted is the Pasta with Creamed Leek Spinach and Sausages. I love love love veggies, and this dish really has a spring-time feel to it with the leeks! I'm keeping my fingers crossed to win!

My favorite noodles are the sesame noodles with cilantro and scallion. I usually put some shredded chicken in, too, and make it a meal.

Roasted broccoli bacon pasta- 3 of my favourite ingredients in one dish! The best part is that my fussy children will eat it too. By the way, thanks for a great blog!

So far, the only one I've tried is the Orzo with Feta & Arugula, and loved it so much that I've made it twice in the past week!
Breakfast Pasta is one of my favorites! Eggs, bacon spinach and pasta all in one bowl.. mmmm. :)

I haven't made it yet, but I've had pasta with vodka cream sauce bookmarked for a while. I don't drink a lot, so I never seem to have alcohol on hand to cook with!

Macaroni & Cheese - Not from the Box. For some strange reason, I feel like gourmet restaurants make MacnCheese taste worse than the box. Too stiff, or not melty & cheesy enough. The box always brings back great nostalgic memories. I'm always in search of a new mac n cheese recipe hoping I can create one that's from the kithcen, not the box, but still tasting great. This recipe, I really do enjoy.
You had a baked pasta with cheese recipe last October that was awesome. Pasta + Cheese you can't go wrong!
Too many yummy pasta recipes to list them all, but I love your recipe for Orzo with feta cheese and tomatoes, we love to add corn and olives to it since we love corn and olives with everything...wait, orzo counts as a pasta right?

I could not decide on a favorite, but narrowed it down to two of your pasta recipes. The tie is between the pasta with vodka cream sauce and your angel hair pasta with chili, lemon, and arugula. The first had a more traditional Italian feeling to it and the second, I modified slightly to make it spicier and it gave it a nice Thai appeal to it.
I also saw your recipe for Sausage, Spinach, Tomato, Fresh Mozzarella Pasta and I cannot wait to try it, however I think I will substitute the sausage for pepperoni and make it a cold dish instead to help combat the 90+ degree heat taking over North Carolina.
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipes!

My (current) favorite pasta dish is the Orzo with feta, arugula and cranberries!!! One small confession - I actually do make it with the whole grain pasta - spaghetti, and I break it up into shorter pieces. I am NOT just saying that so you will randomly pick me. I really do! It is salty, sweet - just perfect!

I love the light texture of your Orzo salad! So yummy & goes well with everything. Best of all, it's so easy to make!
pasta with vodka cream sauce -- soooooo yummy. Now I'm craving it. Will have to make it again soon so I can take a picture and post on your fb page :)
I have to say the Pomodoro sauce recipe you just shared just jumped to the top of my list. So simple!
just ONE? I LOVE the sesame noodles and the bacon + asparagus noodles equally. Sort of like kids (if I had any), I'd love them equally, yet differently. haha. cindy [at] justthelittlethings [dot] com. Thanks for an amazing giveaway!
spicy sesame noodles is our fav! we eat it with asian fish tacos (another fav)or with salmon. my family and friends love your blog because i'm always inspired to make something from it.
i love making the ginger garlic sesame noodles and the bacon brocolli baked pasta for my family. they are both easy and delicious and it's a great way to get them to eat their vegetables!
Pasta with vodka cream sauce - this is my favorite red pasta sauce!

One of the family favorites is the spaghetti with bacon and broccoli pasta. Although, I usually will switch out the spaghetti with penne since the kids like bite-size pieces. My son who doesn't like red sauce loves this just as much as my dd who looooves sauce. Thanks so much for your great recipes!

I had to make my kids thank me after each meal until I started making your recipes. When I made the Asian bow tie pasta, my three year old son bursted out after his first bite, "Yum, Thank you for dinna, mommy! Wook, I'm eating the weaf(spinach), too!". You are the friend that we all wish we had live next door to us!

Asian Bowtie Pasta for sure! I'm half Japanese and love the taste of sesame and soy! This pasta is delicious, quick and easy. If I have a lime I'll squeeze a bit on the top, along with some chopped peanuts. Thanks so much! I enjoy reading your blog and feel like I know your whole family! :)

Garlic scallion noodles. I have been following your blog now from Cambodia. Thanks for lots of good ideas for when I have to host lots of guests (short term teams). J.Whang told me about your blog after I complimented her on the soba noodles that she made from your blog.
