Except for the rare Sunday sauce, this is the only spaghetti I make. I use two cans of paste, and almost two cups of pasta water. I also sauté garlic and chili flakes with the fennel, and I love to add Italian sausage... probably will tonight. Easy, cheap, and truly my all-time favorite spaghetti recipe. The linked video is a great watch… Check out the way she pronounces “room” 🤪
i throw cherry tomatoes with a small slit and tons of garlic in a small pot with a lot of olive oil and red pepper. let it confit for like an hour. add in basil for the last fifteen min. separate the oil, blend confit mix with an immersion blender and then use it as a sauce over some pasta.
the oil can stay in the fridge for bread dipping!
It can be easy, cheap, and makes good leftovers.
Sometimes I will just doctor up a jar-sauce and add fresh basil and parm and it is pretty good for the amount of effort.
If I feel like I need more protein or veggies it is easy to add.
I recently tried a recipe that has anchovies, green olives, garlic, capers, cherry tomatoes, and lots of olive oil. I liked it a lot, but realize it is not for everyone.
i cannot relate to women who miss their girlhood. when they felt carefree, happy. for me adulthood has been the first time i've experienced feeling carefree and happy. i work an 8:30-5:30 job and I pay my rent and I buy groceries and I take the bus and this is the happiest and safest and least stressed i've ever been. girlhood was awkward and uncomfortable. restrictive and quiet. sexualized. I didn't own my body, my space, my time. i was scared of my dad, i just wanted my mom to understand me. i didn't feel pretty and boys were mean. girls too. womanhood has been freeing and healing. I wear what i want, i eat what I want. my home is so safe, my body is too. i wish i could miss girlhood. but I can't, so I give my adult woman self the joy and safety and pink bedroom walls and stuffed animals and girly dresses she never had as a child. i give myself comfort. i listen to and I believe myself. i hold my inner little girl and tell her she is so beautiful and so loved. i try to give my adult woman self the girlhood i didn't have
