Each person has those items that will consistently be in their pantries. Mine are garlic, some kind of onion or shallot, red pepper, tomato paste, parm, and what I tell myself is high quality olive oil. Take those things, cook them how you please, and put it on pasta. It’s almost as easy as buttered noodles but more flavorful anf fulfilling than that. When I’m feeling lazy, this is one of the best things I can do for myself. Take your pantry staples and try it out.

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.

1 can tuna
1 pack grape or cherry tomato
3 or 4 large garlic cloves
1/4 jar of capers
About half a cup of olive oil
Half a container of pasta
1. salt water and boil for pasta. I used pappardelle.
2. Add olive oil and can of anchovies to skillet (you can use less but I didn’t want to deal with left overs). Cook until anchovies mostly dissolve.
3. Roughly chop the garlic and add it to the sardines and oil. Cut tomatoes in half if you want and add to skillet with oil. 4. Drain a can of tuna and put in skillet with oil and tomatoes also add capers
4. Cook on medium or whatever while the pasta cooks.
5. When pasta is al dente, was around 10 mins for me, add it in with the oil mixture. Don’t worry about draining the pasta. You actually want some of the pasta water in with the sauce.
6. Let the pasta mingle with the sauce for a couple minutes and cook to your desired tenderness. Salt and pepper to taste. You probably won’t need much salt depending on how many anchovies you used.
I kind of made this up but it is also similar to dishes I have seen with olives and onions. I like both of those things but I didn’t have them on hand. The whole thing takes pretty much as long as it takes to make pasta and I think it is pretty good.

A Manson book in which Manson is not even the most evil guy, but someone named DR. JOLLY is. Good example of how Pynchon was not exaggerating at all. I could not put this book down

Alongside the sexist John and Yoko narrative, Boomers like to propagate a similar myth that Paul met Linda and lost some essential virility, became soy and unable to write good songs... in fact he remained the same rock and roll goofball he was before. Ram in particular is a delightful ode to shaggy domesticity-- you're cooking and drinking wine barefoot, there are babies and dogs running around. No wonder these Reaganite freaks didn't get it
