Here's a much-simplified version of my go-to pasta dish - this one is more like a side dish which my mum used to make.
Requires:
Pasta Oil of some kind Onion chopped vegetables of your selection (for the sake of argument, bell pepper and mushroom)
1. Cook pasta 2. Chop onion 3. Saute onion in oil 4. Add vegetables, stir-fry until cooked to your liking 5. Tip pasta into frying pan, stir until vegetables and onion are mixed through.
Now, you could add any herbs or spices you like to that. But you don't have to include anything else if you don't feel so inclined, or don't have them. Just vegetables and pasta used to make a perfectly good side dish for us as kids, and I certainly remember cooking up the very plain version when I living out of home and working long hours for the first time. Only downside is that this is quite a starchy recipe.
