I caramelize some onions, I roast some bell peppers and garlic in the oven, and I purée them.Then I cut some sausage out of its casing (ideally chorizo but I haven’t been able to find lately) and fry in the leftover butter with a little tomato paste. Then deglaze with wine or sake, and chicken stock, add the puréed veg back in with some leftover cheese rinds, MSG, salt. Right before it’s ready to serve I add a bunch of blanched rapini, lots of white pepper, and the juice of a 1/2 lemon. Not a quick recipe but an easy one—no fussy knife technique or tricky timing. If I’m feeling ✨fancy✨ I do my pasta from scratch.

chop 1/2 yellow onion or 1 shallot and 3 cloves garlic, brown in pan chop 2 tomatoes of choice once onion & garlic are browned add tomatoes leave on low-medium heat and agitate from time to time until texture is as desired add some salt and pepper if you want once tomatoes are cooking down, cook pasta (probably penne but prefer rigatoni) until al dente strain pasta while saving a bit of water, pour pasta back into pot, add sauce from pan into pot and mix well boom

- 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)

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.
