I had a really good rigatoni putanesca today. I don't often make pasta at home for some reason and I'd like to change that.

What are your favorite pasta sauces? Ones that fly under the radar, ones that are quick any easy when you don't really feel like cooking, ones that you make to impress a date... let's hear em all!

I like the very poor and lazy student greatness of peanut butter pasta. It takes barely longer than cooking the pasta themselves, the ingredients are almost all shelf stable and staples in my pantry... it's great for lazy cooking honestly. Okay, the recipe:

  • cook pasta (however you like, I'm no pasta police)
  • in a bowl, mix peanut butter with some soy sauce and vinegar (whichever brand/style/color you have at hand, we are being lazy here okay) the result can become a weird dense and sticky paste with a really deep soy sauce color and taste too strong to be good, do not panic, it's not finished yet.
  • when the pasta is done, keep some of the pasta water and add it to the sauce, the sauce should now start to look good and taste much better.
  • laziest option is to throw the pasta on top of the sauce and use only one bowl. If the sauce is too liquidy, you can reheat the hole thing a bit.

No need to add salt, it's already in the pasta water and soy sauce. Add whatever spicy thing you like, that works well. I wouldn't recommend adding cheese to it, I was never really successfull with it.
