  I have 2: broccoli, spicy sausage, and orecchiette; or penne, canned tuna, capers, and lemon. Both with lots of olive oil and Aleppo pepper.

  My go to easy pasta dinner is a (probably not very authentic) Bolognese, I made one yesterday and it will feed me and the hubby all week. Chopped onion, mushrooms, minced beef, beef stock, garlic, chopped tomatoes and passata and simmered until it reduces and thickens. Serve just enough sauce to coat the spaghetti, I stir it into the pasta in the pan to make sure it's all covered, all the flavour but keeps the calories lower so I still get to have my pasta fix!
  Would love to learn to make a more traditional authentic Bolognese.

  Drunk's Pasta- you can make it even when you're a bit under the weather after a cocktail or two- saute chopped leeks or onions, 1Tbls baby capers, 2 Tbls chopped sundried tomatoes in oil, two Tbls stock or water. Bring to boil. Add half a chopped camembert or brie- skin and all. Turn off heat and cover. Cook fresh spaghetti. By the time this is done and drained the sauce is ready. Stir well and pour over pasta. Serves 2. Yum.
