Total prep time AND ready to eat within 15-30min.

Get a bowl
Make a "sauce" with plenty olive oil, basil, garlic
Slice tomatoes in quarters (about the size of cherry tomatoes) and throw them in a bowl
Let it rest for min. 30min or as long as you want to. No upper limit.
Add hot spaghetti (al dente) and stir until everything is well coated.

Edit: Expanded and added more precise instructions.

lol there’s always this one answer.

“What do you make when you don’t feel like cooking?”

“Well it all starts the day before with the honey glaze. That has to simmer for about 14 hours …”

What? I said that it can be done within 30min? What's so difficult about cutting some herbs and vegetable?

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Yes to all of it.

A simple tomato sauce is not any harder than plenty of other suggestions in this thread, e.g. tuna melt, and easier than carbonara.

Any tips on how to rest? Like on a bed or a chair? Maybe have a cheeky cigarette behind the kitchen?

I prefer a salad bowl but a bed might work as well
