Need help with PASTA RECIPES.?

Question

Me and my girlfriend are renting some movies tonight and want to dine in. We want to make some pasta but neither of us don't really know how to make a good pasta sauce. We usually just buy the sauce that comes in a jar but were(I'm) tired of that. We tried to look up some recipes online but they were way to complicated and time consuming. We want to make a gralicy or a white wine sauce. We want something that is fast, easy, simple, and tasty. I also dont want to go out and buy anything. Let's save the extremely exotic seasonings for another night. Just want something simple. Any suggestions?
BTW, i have shrimp, chicken, and tilapia.

Keep them coming! Me and my girlfreind will decide on which one to use. Best recipe gets BEST ANSWER!
