I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you're tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

Oh I have a lot of recipes like this, all pasta based because it takes just 10 minutes to boil the noodles.

  • Cream or tomato based sauce - Microwave meatballs that are fully-cooked out of the pack for 3 minutes. Toss in the pan with onions and garlic, pour bottled sauce, mix in noodles.

  • Pasta limone with shrimp - Generously salt water for boiling noodles. Fry a pack of fully-cooked shrimp with butter, garlic, onions, and lemon pepper. Mix in noodles. Add a couple of spoons of salted pasta water. Squeeze half a lemon. Sprinkle a good amount of parmesan.

  • Peanut pasta - Dilute 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter in the pan with water until you get a saucy consistency. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and sesame oil. Add a couple of spoons of salted pasta water. Mix in noodles.
