Whole grain pasta is ok, best to eat it early if you are looking to stay lean.

many girls i train have a hard time with brown rice, irritates the stomach.

early morning whole weat pasta are usually the alternative, but no meat, no fats with it.

That depends on the temperature your fridge is set at.

spaghetti is so cheap and fast to make why save it

the meatballs should be good for like 5 days. You can always freeze them.

Whole wheat pasta tastes like shit. I found some stuff and I think it's only 50% whole wheat and it tastes better than anything else... can't remember what the brand is though. My momma made some deadly lasagna with it a few days ago. Did an extra half hour of cardio before I went to her place so I could pig out and feel less guilt.

Whole grain pastas and those without enriched flours will be the best for you. 
Pasta is not that bad in terms of a starchy carb, but the problem you will run into is that the quantity you eat to get a decent dose of carbs is WAY smaller than most people eat when they eat pasta.  It only takes like 1/2 cup or 1 cup max for plenty of carbs, but a pasta dinner for most people is usually more like 3 cups.  It's very difficult to limit yourself to the amount of pasta that is adequate for a serving of complex carbs on the order of 25-50 g.  :-\

Yeah, it's calorie dense as shit. And seeing as how cheap it is, how tasty it is and easy to prepare it's no wonder why it's such a pitfall for some people. I know that when there's pasta in front of me, there's no way in hell I'm holding back. That shit is delicious, especially the home made variety.
