cut up 1 onion
cut up 5 garlic cloves
cut up 10 roma tomatoes
cook onions and garlic in a saute pan with olive oil until onions become translucent
put tomatoes in pan with onions and garlic and stir
add salt
add pepper
add generic italian seasoning to taste
add some lemon juice/brown sugar to taste (brings out the tomato flavor imo)
*optional* splash of red wine, preferably cabernet or pinot noir
add fresh basil leaves near the end

serve over whatever pasta works for you

its literally 5 minutes prep and 20 mins overall cook time

I'm starting to think we need a bingo square for food that's Self-Aware or Self-Loathing. Although the first probably assumes the second.

Have you guys never salted your pasta water before or something

Minarchist posted:

1/2 cup of salt isn't that much for a few gallons of water but you can always back it off. Plus you can rinse off the pasta when you get it into a colander.

I need to tell another gross food story.

When I was about seven, all I wanted was an EZ-Bake oven, because they're great. So, of course my dad bought me one. The first thing I wanted to make was Wacky Cake, which is some weird Southern thing where it's vinegar and baking soda and cocoa and some other weird stuff, but no eggs, butter or milk. My mom's recipe book was all in French, and also I was an idiot child, so rather than put in a pinch of salt, I added a cup. To reward my father for facilitating this gift, I brought him a little loaf of cake. He pops it into his mouth and without registering it, starts to say, "Tastes great, honey," but halfway through "honey" he puked onto the floor.

Sure, with like a couple'a teaspoons, maybe tablespoons if I'm cooking for a group, but half a loving cup of salt? I'd like to able to actually taste some of the pasta.

You add the salt to a gallon or two of water. It gives the pasta flavor. Adding a few tablespoons of salt to pasta water won't do anything at all.

It's not like the salt crystallizes onto the pasta as it boils.

I'm honestly astounded by people's reactions to that line. Half a cup is a pretty reasonable amount to add to pasta water. Mario Batali uses more than that...

The metric I learned was 2 tbsp per gallon of water, and a gallon of water for each pound of pasta. That's always done fine for flavoring and helping the noodles separate. The recipe linked calls for calf a cup into just 2 lb. pasta, which is more than twice what I'd normally use. It just sounds like a lot of extra salt for no good reason.

Actually, good story and definitely anti food porn. When we were 18 or so, my friend and I went to some farmer's market because he heard there was chocolate covered gummy bears there. We got there and they only sold them in five gallon tubs... so that's what we bought. It was harder to eat them when he accidentally left them next to the radiator and we had to slice out pieces of the remaining brick with a knife. Ahh, memories. e: It took us about two months to finish it, by the way.

What do you take me for?

Okay, same year, I decide my mother's morning breakfast of black coffee and Pall Malls are insufficient and decide to make her a spread for toast. I use, in no particular order: tabasco sauce, marmalade, chocolate chips, peanut butter, regular butter, salt, salsa, Ovaltine and some other things I can't recall. My favourite part is that she would spoon out a little every morning into the garbage so I would believe that she'd actually been eating it.
