^^ wow the answer above me is quite complicated for no reason.... lol
heres the easy way....
bring a pot (halfway filled with water and a tsp of salt) to a boil,
add any pasta, and cook untill it is tender (it takes about 10 minutes depending of the kind of pasta, just take one out and test it.) then strain out the pasta and rince with cold water to get off the starch so its not sticky. then put it back into the pot with out any water, mix and cook with any other ingredience you want, just to warm it all together and mix the flavors. then serve!

Spaghetti with Garlic, Parsley, and Pecorino: Saute several cloves of minced garlic in several tablespoons of olive oil. Add a handful of minced fresh parsley and a little crushed red pepper flakes and then toss with cooked spaghetti and some grated Pecorino cheese.
Fettuccine with Butter and Pine Nuts: Toast several tablespoons of nuts in a dry skillet. (You can use chopped walnuts rather than pine nuts, if you like.) When the nuts are fragrant, transfer them to a bowl. Melt at least half a stick of butter in the empty skillet. Toss with cooked fettuccine, toasted nuts, some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and pepper. Best with fresh pasta.
Linguine with Olives: Pit and chop a large handful of black and/or green olives. Combine with several tablespoons of olive oil, a little minced garlic, a pinch of hot red pepper flakes, and some minced fresh herbs. Toss the olive mixture with cooked pasta.
Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Lemon, and Garlic: Saute several cloves of minced garlic in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Add the grated zest from a lemon and toss with cooked pasta.
Spaghetti with Pancetta, Pecorino, and Pepper: Saute several slices of diced pancetta in a little olive oil until lightly crisped. Toss with cooked pasta, lots of freshly ground black pepper, and a half cup or more of grated Pecorino cheese. Reserve some cooking water to moisten the pasta, if necessary.
Fettuccine with Butter and Cream (Fettuccine Alfredo): Heat several tablespoons of butter and about half a cup of cream in a large skillet just until the cream starts to simmer. Add cooked fresh pasta to the skillet and then add plenty of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Cook over low heat for a minute, tossing until the sauce coats the noodles.
Spaghetti with Herbs: Saute a few minced garlic cloves in several tablespoons of olive oil. Add a tablespoon or two of minced mixed herbs (basil, parsley, thyme, mint, and so on) and toss with cooked pasta.
Penne with Ricotta and Peas: Saute a minced onion in several tablespoons of olive oil. Add a handful or two of frozen peas and cook just until warm. Thin a half cup or so of ricotta cheese to sauce consistency with some pasta cooking water. Combine the pea mixture, thinned ricotta, and several tablespoons of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with cooked pasta.
Linguine with Raw Tomatoes and Pesto: Chop several ripe tomatoes and combine with several tablespoons of pesto sauce. Toss with cooked pasta.
Penne with Tomatoes, Onion, and Butter: Saute a minced onion in a few tablespoons of melted butter. Add some chopped canned tomatoes and simmer until tender. Toss with cooked pasta and serve with grated cheese.
