Your Pasta
This works great with ANY leftover pasta, but you need at least 2 cups, cooked!
Pasta Rosa:001:
2 cups cooked pasta
2 tbs margarine or butter
1 large onion chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced (out of garlic? substitute 1 tsp powder!)

1 10-oz pkg frozen peas
1/2 cup Parmesan
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce (optional)
