Pasta recipes WITHOUT a tomato-based sauce
I need some child-friendly (but not too basic since my DS is a fantastic eater and likes most things) pasta recipes that don't include a tomato-based sauce. I get the feeling that my DS doesn't really like tomato sauce - he eats pasta w/red sauce well some days but not others.
I was going to make him a baked ziti w/ ground turkey but decided not to so it doesn't go to waste if he's really not a fan.
Anyone have any suggestions for other types of pasta dishes? Especially if they include some kind of meat (beef, turkey or chicken).

I don't know if it is too heavy but my kids love homemade fettucine alfredo.

Rigatoni with Ricotta
I dont fully drain the pasta water and mix it with the Ricotta which makes it soupy. i usually mix some peas in (which DS hates but get stuck to the pasta and he ingests some inadvertantly

Re: Pasta recipes WITHOUT a tomato-based sauce
Tortellini with garlic and oil or some butter and cheese are usually kid pleasers

I'm actually thinking about trying pesto. Sounds yummy with grilled chicken.

Re: Pasta recipes WITHOUT a tomato-based sauce
I just made this tonight and it was awesome! My 2 yr old DS loved it! I substituted steamed broccoli for the broccoli rabe.

Re: Pasta recipes WITHOUT a tomato-based sauce
I make a very light version of alfredo sauce.
I use 2 tablespoons butter, ,melt it & make a roux. I then add in 1 1/2 cups fat free milk. As it thickens I add about 3/4 cup of grated cheese.
I put this on pasta & add grilled chicken & broccoli ( I would add peas but DH isn;t a fan  ). I have also used chicken sausage also.

Re: Pasta recipes WITHOUT a tomato-based sauce
I make this a lot. Or I will make bow tie pasta with broccoli in a garlic sauce.
Homemade mac and cheese is always a big hit here

Re: Pasta recipes WITHOUT a tomato-based sauce
sometimes I will just toss pasta with ICBINButter and some Parmesan. You can throw in some steamed Veggies, Cut up eggplant cutlets, or some chicken sausage
