I’ve been into making pasta lately

It can be easy, cheap, and makes good leftovers. Sometimes I will just doctor up a jar-sauce and add fresh basil and parm and it is pretty good for the amount of effort. If I feel like I need more protein or veggies it is easy to add. I recently tried a recipe that has anchovies, green olives, garlic, capers, cherry tomatoes, and lots of olive oil. I liked it a lot, but realize it is not for everyone.

Pasta!

I love to pan fry some peppers, onions, mushrooms & zuccini for it & cover it all with some tomato & basil pasta sauce (seasoned with garlic & red wine vinegar to taste and thickened with a little bit of puree). Then I'll either sprinkle some parmesan or mozzerella over the top, or if im feeling adventurous I'll cover it with cheddar or mozzerella & pop it back in the oven forna full on pasta bake :)

🥫

one pan lemony creamy pasta

- brown some chopped garlic on pan with olive oil and italian seasoning, s&p. - add whichever shape pasta (sometimes i do this with orzo instead of like penne), one squeezed lemon‘s juice, and not too much boiling water (enough so that it cooks the pasta, but also so it evaporates by the end) - when the pasta’s just before al dente, and there’s just a little pasta water left, i add double cream and emulsify, let it cook for a bit. - turn off heat and toss in grated parmesan, parsley (or basil) (or fresh thyme), and lemon zest. tasty, zesty and fresh but doesn’t take much time or effort! takes abt as long as ur pasta takes to boil + a few mins for chopping the garlic. otherwise, i have sauces like napolitana or pesto sauce made in large amounts, so all i have to do is boil some pasta for them throughout the week. or, an even quicker one is if ur groceries sell fresh egg noodles and chopped veg, just add some teriyaki sauce and that’s it)
