Here's mine:
My lazy + need to grocery shop meal, is a fake alfredo kind of plan.
While a box of pasta boils, I make a pan of melted butter, chopped garlic, add flour to turn it into a roux, then milk or cream to thicken. Once the bechamel is done, I raid the cheese drawer for a couple slices of cheese, or use some parm-romano. Black pepper, dried herbs, fresh basil or rosemary, etc.
In a separate nonstick, additionally, you can create a topping to the sauced pasta. Heat olive oil +garlic, or even oil plus shallot, soften or brown if you like, add in fresh or packaged breadcrumbs, italian blend herbs, sundried tomatoes, olives, anything that goes nicely with olive oil. Serve crunchy browned bread topping on top of sauced pasta for texture. Very coarse breadcrumbs are even nicer.
There IS some kind of italian term for "oil and sand pasta" to describe the breadcrumb topping technique, but I forget the name.
