Guess you are a non-veg...
I was trying to replicate one dish that I ate at an Italian restaurant and this is what I came up with. This tastes somewhat close to what I ate at the restaurant.
Grilled chicken cut into small pieces 1 cup (I make this dish when I have leftover grilled chicken breasts. I think you can grill some chicken for this purpose, or use some fried chicken breasts.)
Mushrooms 1 pack
Dried tomatoes cut into thin stripes - ½ cup (I dont think you can substitute fresh tomatoes here, the restaurant used dried tomatoes and the flavor is different. (http://www.laquila.co.uk/images/medveg/medveg_tom.jpg)
Garlic 3 medium cloves (edit: roast this in a preheated oven for about 15 mts, until the flesh turns light brown)
Heavy whipping cream 1 pint
Parmesan cheese I have no measure for this. Probably ½ to Ύ cup grated, and more for garnishing.
Chopped fresh parsley leaves
Butter
Bow tie pasta
Peel the roasted garlic and make a paste. Mix this paste to the heavy cream and boil the mixture in a heavy bottom saucepan. Stir occasionally.
On another burner, start cooking pasta according to package directions.
On another burner, heat up some butter and stir-fry the mushrooms with enough salt. Add dried tomatoes and chicken pieces and cook for a minute. Then turn off the flame.
Now get back to the pan where the cream is boiling. Add parsley leaves and slowly add parmesan little by little. Keep stirring. It will become thicker. Add salt and pepper. The sauce is ready. You can now mix this with the chicken and mushrooms.
Drain pasta, and mix with the sauce. Transfer to a serving plate, and sprinkle more grated parmesan on top. Serve hot.
You can also use store bought alfredo sauce instead of making your own sauce. But I like to follow the above method.

Ground meat, Ragu, onion, garlic, basil and oregano make a quick sauce for any type of pasta, especially spaghetti.

I like my pasta with white sauce and this is how I make it.
Boil pasta with a pinch of salt and when it is cooked, drain it and leave it aside.
Stir fry veggies of your choice like corn, mushroom, pepper, onion, peas, beans, carrot! Fry a pod of chopped garlic as well, add all this to the pasta.
Now in a pan take a table spoon of butter and add a spoon of plain flour to it, keep stirring it till it gets cooked and the raw smell is gone, to this add mustard powder ( a pinch) or mustard paste, a teaspoon of tomato ketchup and stir it in, to this add milk little by little and stir it well taking care that lumps are not formed. if you have one of those hand held mixies, then you can stir the milk in and use the hand held to make sure there are no lumps. Add this sauce to the pasta veg mix. Top this up with grated cheddar cheese and stick it in the oven till the cheese browns....
This is pasta bake ready for you
The moment will arrive when you are comfortable with who you are, and what you are--when you don't feel the need to apologize for anything or to deny anything. To be comfortable in your own skin is the beginning of strength.
