“I Hate to Cook” Three easy, (nearly) instant pasta toppings . Just warm up the topping ingredients in a small pan, while the pasta is cooking.
1. Warm up some bottled pasta sauce with a small tin of drained tuna, add capers, olives and black pepper to taste. Let it bubble gently, and taste to check seasoning. Add about a tablespoon of the pasta water to the sauce, which will help it combine with the pasta when you get to twirl your fork in it. Add a sprinkle of parmesan just before you eat.
2. Simmer a good serving of cream, with lots of parmesan and black pepper. If it salves your conscience, make it light cream, but be generous because this stuff is yummy. If you want a bigger meal, first fry chopped bacon, adding the cream when the bacon is cooked to your liking. If you’re really hungry, add some peas.
3. For this one, warm some chopped salami in the pasta water, and then add a good dollop of pesto. Again, you can go further with olives or capers and parmesan.
Note: When the pasta is cooked to your liking, tip it out into a colander and then quickly tip the lot back into the pan. Pasta should not be left to get cold and dry in the colander. Add a glug of olive oil to the pasta and swirl it around. Bon Appetit
