~ boil noodles of choice!
throw into a pan:
~ spicy sausage!
~ any veggies and greens! (I like sweet peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and spinach, but really whatever's on sale)
~ can of Italian seasoned diced tomatoes!
~ splash of cream!
~ red pepper flakes!
~ season to taste!
it's cheap and takes barely any energy which is good enough for me at the moment haha

🥫- 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.

😎i do a few that i love but one of the easiest is lemon brocc pasta: rotini (or penne), head or two of broccoli, loooots of spinach, lots of minced garlic (store bought is ok!), few tbsp lemon juice to taste, pinch of salt and pepper, ample parmesan
pasta obv takes a bit but there’s basically no prep. if you really wanna save more time/energy literally just get microwave broccoli/chopped spinach instead of fresh lol. and if you’re cooking for one, an entire box of pasta will make quite a few meals for your next lunches and dinners, and it microwaves well! so you get the home cooked meal vibe for a few days without too much work

I grew up loving this movie and I rewatch it every time I'm feeling a little bit burnt out or directionless
I know the main character is only like thirteen, but the movie perfectly captures the feeling of moving out of your hometown and trying to figure out who you are and what you want to do, so it hits it even harder in your late teens/early 20s imo haha
It's also just so cozy! I love the art and music
