That is another staple of mine. I get the stuff made by a local dairy near here with lots of milk fat for extra calories (my cholesterol is realy really low so I don't need to worry about that). As for pasta, try pastina--the little tiny circles of pasta that is sometimes used to feed children. I find if it is somewhat overcooked and mixed with lots and lots of Alfredo or cheese sauce to help it stick together it goes down pretty easily--it's the only kind of pasta I can handle.
