The microwave is the obvious first choice. You can also heat up sauce on
the stove and dump the pasta in boiling water for about 30 seconds to
warm up, then drain.

What I usually do is put a serving of pasta and sauce in a saute pan and
heat up over medium heat. I find this heats it more evenly than the
microwave does, and is less fuss than boiling another pot of water. It
takes five minutes from refrigerator to plate.

The few times I eat bread it is toasted garlic bread. Put it in a warm
oven for a few minutes. That, or time it so the bread is done baking
right about serving time.
