Ignore anyone who tells you you need fancy stuff like "a sharp knife" or "different herbs" or whatever. What you need is a jar of Italian herbs and a jar of minced garlic. They go in everything. You'll also need a big non-stick frying pan. You can cook just about everything in it and it's super easy to clean. At least one saucepan is also required. If you've only got one you'll want a big one, but it's handy to have a few (in case you want to cook smaller amounts of things). Something like spaghetti is an easy start. You take some meat (I usually go with minced beef, but pick whatever you want) and throw it in the frying pan. Add some Italian herbs. If you're worried about overdoing it, put less than you expect to need as you can always adjust it later. You can also add other nice things at this stage like pepper, tabasco, mustard or garlic or whatever you think will taste nice. Turn the stove on to maximum and if your meat's all stuck together then separate it. Once it starts sizzling, turn the temperature down to medium and move it around a bit so it gets cooked evenly. Repeat as necessary. Once your meat looks OK, add as many cans of diced tomatoes as it takes to match however much meat you got in there, and let it cook a bit. If it starts boiling stir it a bit and turn the heat down. After a few minutes, taste it. It probably needs salt. Add some salt. And you probably didn't put enough herbs or garlic in so add some more of those. Let it cook a bit more. Then you cook your spaghetti according to the directions on the pack, put it on a plate and dump sauce on top. Eat it with parmesan cheese if you like. This is the basic process for cooking many, many things. Take things that seem like they'd taste good together, put them in the frying pan, adjust as needed and then eat them.
