I am anti onion also so I have 2 super easy recipes for ya-
sautee garlic red pepper flakes black or kalamata olives sundries tomatoes and jarred roasted peppers and either brocolli or spinach in some olive oil and toss it with your pasta- good and light! I like it with chicken too.
my other one is my tomato sauce-
It starts out just like the other one and you can add anything you want into it- I like to just start with the first one and add the tomato but feel free to take anything out or add anything you like (I usually add some browned italian sausage to this one) and once tour garlic is soft and smellin good add 1 can of toamto paste and 2 can of tomato sauce and I like to add just a touch of honey and or cinnamon and then all you have to do is let it simmer for a couple hours and voila you have pasta sauce (it will thicken and lose more acidity the longer you cook it but you'll need to add water when it's gettin thick- just taste it every now and again and when you think it tastes good it's done!)

Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe, Bacon, and Bread Crumbs
SERVES: 4
For a pleasant change of pace, we toss crisp, golden bread crumbs with the pasta instead of the usual grated cheese. If you don't have orecchiette, replace them with shells, bow ties, rotelle, or fusilli.
Ingredients
1 pound broccoli rabe, tough ends removed, cut into 1-inch lengths
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes
1 pound orecchiette
3/4 teaspoon salt
directions
In a medium pot of boiling, salted water, cook the broccoli rabe until almost done, about 3 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1/4 cup of the oil over moderate heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove. Wipe out the pan.
In the same pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Pour off all the fat. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in the frying pan over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe and cook, stirring occasionally, until just done, about 3 minutes longer.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the orecchiette until done, about 15 minutes. Drain and toss with the bread crumbs, bacon, broccoli rabe, and salt.
NOTES
Fresh Bread Crumbs
The quickest way to make fresh bread crumbs is to tear up a few slices of French or Italian bread and whir them in the food processor. No need to remove the crust.
The bitter bite of the broccoli rabe and the pungent garlic in this dish both require a crisp white wine to act as a neutral foil. Try a pinot grigio from Friuli for good effect.
When I make this dish, I usually cook the bacon first, and then use the drippings to make up some of the volume of olive oil -- especially to cook the bread crumbs in -- it intensifies the bacon flavor in the whole dish!
If you don't have broccoli rabe in your stores or green-grocer's, I like to use blanched broccoli florets (takes longer) or fresh baby spinach leaves (quick and easy - buy them pre-washed at store!). Just toss the spinach in the hot garlic/red pepper oil until coated and just beginning to wilt.
Sometimes - if I'm being really baaaad - I just leave out the veg altogether!
This recipe takes me less than 30 min. to make and gets absolute raves.

Super-Quick Fettucini Alfredo
1 lb. dry pasta (just about any shape works well!)
6oz. heavy cream or whipping cream
1/2 stick butter
grated parmesan cheese
garlic powder
fresh cracked black pepper
Cook pasta according to directions on package. Drain. Put back in cooking pot with butter and stir to coat. Pour in the whipping cream and add as much of the grated parm as it takes to make the sauce get thick and cling to the pasta. Season with garlic powder and black pepper to taste.
This is verrrry rich, but verrrry good!
20 minutes or less, start to finish (depending on how long it takes your cooktop to boil water!).
