Peanut curry noodle situation: One pan with onions, garlic, curry powder, peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, sriracha, and a vegetable of choice + ramen noodles. Maybe sesame oil too. Green onion garnish.
OR
Vodka sauce pasta situation (w/ no vodka, aka not vodka sauce): One pan with onion, garlic, crushed red pepper, tomato paste, coconut milk, and a vegetable of choice + noodle of choice.
Extra salt on both if we're getting really "comfort food".
