Not who you asked, but I want to shill for spaghetti aglio e olio for a sec.
It has 3 ingredients. Pasta, olive oil, garlic. Fancy stuff will taste better, but the cheapest will taste fine. I use pre-minced garlic out of a tub when I’m really down bad and it’s still excellent. Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, maybe parmesan cheese if you have it, and sometimes I’ll throw in some frozen peas. It comes together in about 2 minutes longer than it takes to boil the pasta and can be really quite good.

I do this but with olive oil, garlic and dried tomatoes :) Tried it in some restaurant one time. Dead simple and really tasty.
Another dead simple pasta: mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Just let the mozzarella melt with cooked pasta, add tomatoes. Presto.
Carbonara is also not much harder.
speaking of carbonara…
i have a slightly modified version of this recipe somewhere. it is delicious. we just haven’t been eating pasta much lately.
