one pan lemony creamy pasta

- brown some chopped garlic on pan with olive oil and italian seasoning, s&p. - add whichever shape pasta (sometimes i do this with orzo instead of like penne), one squeezed lemon‘s juice, and not too much boiling water (enough so that it cooks the pasta, but also so it evaporates by the end) - when the pasta’s just before al dente, and there’s just a little pasta water left, i add double cream and emulsify, let it cook for a bit. - turn off heat and toss in grated parmesan, parsley (or basil) (or fresh thyme), and lemon zest. tasty, zesty and fresh but doesn’t take much time or effort! takes abt as long as ur pasta takes to boil + a few mins for chopping the garlic. otherwise, i have sauces like napolitana or pesto sauce made in large amounts, so all i have to do is boil some pasta for them throughout the week. or, an even quicker one is if ur groceries sell fresh egg noodles and chopped veg, just add some teriyaki sauce and that’s it)

I’ve been into making pasta lately

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.

Pantry pasta

Each person has those items that will consistently be in their pantries. Mine are garlic, some kind of onion or shallot, red pepper, tomato paste, parm, and what I tell myself is high quality olive oil. Take those things, cook them how you please, and put it on pasta. It’s almost as easy as buttered noodles but more flavorful anf fulfilling than that. When I’m feeling lazy, this is one of the best things I can do for myself. Take your pantry staples and try it out.

Making your own birthday cake

I like what I like and I like doing things myself (Virgo). Every birthday, for the last few years, I have been making my own birthday cake and I have been loving it. This is a vanilla cake with blackberry jam, lemon curd, and mascarpone whipped cream. To celebrate my 23rd birthday, I had an intimate dinner party with my family, friends, and my boyfriend. It was a gorgeous time.

Working at a museum

I love slow Sundays at the museum. I love seeing the families, the older couples, the new lovers. I love listening in on their conversations. Some are planning their lunch. Others are connecting their lives to the exhibits. It’s beautiful! When I eventually get bored, I roam around and find the museum cat, Stevie.
