Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water on to boil. Season it liberally with salt. When it boils, add your choice of pasta. Cook to el dente, until the pasta is cooked through but still pleasantly chewy.
• Scoop out 1 cup or so of the starchy cooking water. Drain the pasta but not quite all the way. Leave it a bit wet. Put the pasta back into the pot along with a splash or two of the reserved water, about 1/2 cup or so in total then immediately add the rest of the ingredients.
• While the pasta is till steaming hot toss well melting the cheese and forming the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.
• Meanwhile, cut salmon into small pieces.
• Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add salmon and stir a few times. Add asparagus tips, artichoke hearts, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute until salmon is almost cooked, garlic is golden, and asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add cream and bring to a boil. Stir in pesto. Boil until sauce is reduced by at least 1/4 to 1/2. Add penne and toss thoroughly to coat.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley and serve hot.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a pot of salted boiling water 1 minute less than per package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. In a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter.
• Add garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and wine; bring to a boil. Cook until tomatoes burst and liquid is slightly reduced, 6 to 7 minutes. Season fish with salt and pepper; nestle into skillet. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until just opaque, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer fish to a plate.
• Add pasta, cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet with tomatoes; stir over low heat, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a sauce. Season to taste. Serve with fish, parsley, and more red-pepper flakes.
