I forget how exactly it's labeled, but Target is selling some good pasta at it's grocery stores now.

If you buy Barilla or Creamette or Mueller's, usually the pasta is really smooth and the sauce just slides off of it. The Target brand - Archer Farms - has a rough texture which is closer to what homemade is like, and it catches the sauce better. I'm not sure if it's at regular Targets or just the ones with groceries, but it's worth a try if you don't have access to anything better.

I have yet to experience this, but it sounds awesome.

I like to use a light velveeta or whatever cheese sauce and then sprinkle shredded cheese on top and finish it in the oven. I also use penne not macaroni. Plenty of pepper.

JC, you need to have someone make you a great pasta dish with real fresh pasta sometime. A great lobster ravioli or something. I don't want to live in this world where everything is just a sauce soup or whatever you're advocating.
