Linguini in Spicy Red Clam Sauce
Clam sauce is so easy to prepare that it should be an old standby rather than a dish reserved for dining out, especially with the ready availability of canned clams, which are also a great source of iron. 

Pumpkin Raviolis
Prepared, refrigerated Chinese dumpling skins and canned pumpkin make these sophisticated Halloween raviolis effortless to prepare.  The light, fluffy pillows of pasta may cause your guests to suspect you of witchcraft, but you will know there's no magic in making these easy, artful raviolis.

Cheese Ravioli with Tomatoes, Artichokes and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Roasted bell peppers prepared with savory herbs make a flavorful pasta sauce that's rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C. Mixing in red or yellow tomatoes, artichoke hearts and Parmesan cheese accentuates the health benefits and adds a truly Italian flavor.
