"Parmesan" is the English translation for Parmigiano, which is an aged cheese that comes from the Parma area in Italy. There are a variety of brands that are used by Italians: Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, TrentinGrana...these all work
However, there are a variety of imitation products labeled "Parmesan" that I wouldn't use. See here the section "Other cheeses similar to Parmigiano Reggiano": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmigiano-Reggiano
Also, when you look for Parmigiano/Parmesan in a store, make sure you go to the refrigerators where the cheeses are -- The little boxes that look like salt containers with super dry cheese that you find on normal shelves are not the real deal.
When in doubt, buy a chunk of Parmigiano Reggiano/Grana Padano and grate it yourself. You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge and it stays good for a while.

Hi, it depends on how many people you have to serve.
I do it like this:
In a medium saucepan, I put two teaspoons of olive oil and a crushed garlic clove (and two or three chili peppers, if I want it a little spicy).
Turn the heat on and let them fry for a few seconds, then take them out with a spoon and throw them away (you don't want people to bite on a chili pepper or to eat the garlic clove...).
Add about two to two and a half cups of strained tomatoes (I use Pomi, I'd say one third of the package should do for 2 people).
Give it a little stir, lower the flame so it doesn't make bubbles like crazy and dump in half a cooking cube (beef or vegetable). You can also add a little basil at the same time (leaves, shredded leaves or dried basil if you don't have the fresh kind). Give it a few minutes stirring occasionally, and make sure the cooking cube has dissolved.
You should be good to go! Cook your pasta al dente (which means that it shouldn't be too soft), strain it and mix the sauce with it.
Sprinkle the pasta with grated Parmigiano Reggiano/Grana Padano cheese (no Parmesan please!) and enjoy!
Hope this helps! :)
