We all have those days when time is tight, energy is less, and the lure of the drive-thru is almost irresistible. Honestly this is not as fast as a drive-thru, but it is faster than anything sit down. It does take anchovies, so if you hate those little fishes, the drive-thru it is.
Quick Pasta:
Ingredients:
1 clove garlic minced, shopped, or smashed
olive oil
3 medium tomatoes chopped
handful parsley chopped
handful basil chopped
1 flat can anchovies
pasta of choice
hard cheese to shred over top
pepper
Directions:
Set water to boil. The sauce will take about 5 minutes, so time this according to your chopping speed and the size of your pasta.
Coat skillet with olive oil.
Add garlic and brown slightly. Garlic burns easily, so watch closely and don't cook on high.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until hot through, and they start to soften. You will need to have your pasta cooking.
Pepper heavily.
Add anchovies and oil from the can to taste. Stir to break up anchovies.
Add herbs and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Serve over pasta and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Note:
Anchovies and cheese are both salty. Unless you are a salt fiend or that monster from classic Star Trek, skip the salt.
