Try a seafood linguine (similar to spag). Includes clams, prawns, muscles and pretty much what ever else you want to throw in there. Plenty of recipes on the net for it.
If you like seafood this is a winner.

I would guess cook the spag in boiling salted water as normal until al-dente, in a separate pan heat the olive oil, add garlic and chilli once this has enthused with the oil add the spaghetti and toss together and add the pepper over the top...

My other fav is beef stew.
Cook in a slow cooker overnight,onions,garlic,mash potato and dumplings.
Try not to make the potato too soggy though..........

Our herb garden has been somewhat decimated so I'm on the dried stuff until the summer when they can grow back a bit

fry some breadcrumbs and garlic in olive oil, chuck this on top of the spaghetti with some fresh parmesan..works a treat.
Also red pesto, creme fresh, sliced cooked chicken breast and spring onions.

nicked from bbc website but its very good and easy to make.
The Italian name for this recipe is Spaghetti all Acciughe e Tonno.
Ingredients
350g/12oz spaghetti
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, each peeled and cut into quarters
4 anchovy fillets in oil, drained
250g/9oz canned tuna in olive oil, drained
50ml/2fl oz white wine
50g/2oz capers, rinsed and drained
2 tomatoes, diced
10 basil leaves
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 8 minutes, until al dente - tender but still firm to the bite.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and fry over a gentle heat for 3 minutes. Add the anchovy fillets and cook very gently until almost melting. Increase the heat and add the tuna. Toss for a few minutes, then add the white wine and let it bubble for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate. Stir in the capers and tomatoes.
3. Drain the pasta, reserving 2-3 tbsp of the cooking water. Toss the spaghetti with the sauce, mix in the basil leaves and extra virgin olive oil and season to taste. Add a little of the cooking water if the pasta seems too dry, then serve.

Nice quick one
Finely chop one onion, 1 rasher smoked bacon, some parsley.
Fry bacon and onion until cooked/soft respectively in olive oil.
Chuck in one large tin of chopped tomatoes and continue frying until the sauce thickens.
Add some basil & oregano (or italian mixed herbs) to taste, a little salt and pepper and half the parsley
Add to pasta. Chuck the rest of the parsley on top.
You can add garlic if required before the tomatoes, and or double cream for the fattening version.
You can add seafood, fish, chicken at this point as you fancy.
Quick, easy and tasty.

Simple one
Cook spaghetti as normal, then fry onions in butter with pepper, add the cooked spaghetti for a couple of mins and top wth grated cheese. Tastes totally different. I used to do this as a starter one place I worked.
Alas
PS don't cook too much or its like eating twigs

Here's my favourite!.....onions, peppers, grated 1 carrot, chopped tomatoes, finely sliced stick of celery all fried together, add in mixed herbs and cook together for about ten minutes. Then add mushrooms....then a mixture of seafood (I use prawns, mussels, calamari and whatever else takes my fancy!) and a rather generous tablespoon of creme fraiche. Warm through and serve with....spaghetti! Delicious!!
