Explanation & Grammar Rules:

1. Conditional Clause Rule: In English grammar, when a sentence contains a main clause expressing a future action (e.g., "I will cook your favorite pasta for you") and a time clause introduced by conjunctions like when, if, until, or as soon as, the time clause must be in the Simple Present Tense, not the future tense.


2. Analysis of the original sentence:
The original sentence uses "will come to my" inside the time clause ("When you will come to my house..."). Using the future modal auxiliary "will" in a time/conditional clause is grammatically incorrect (known as a future tense error in sub-clauses).


3. Correct Form:
Replacing "will come" with the simple present verb form "come" gives:
"When you come to my house, I will cook your favorite pasta for you."


Therefore, the phrase come to my is the grammatically correct replacement.
