For no effort cooking, pesto is a good standby.

1. Cook 3/4 lb noodles. Then cook 'em a little more. Noodles aren't supposed to be chewy.
2. While doing #1, thaw and warm up 1 large container of Armanino pesto.
3. Add a healthy chunk of cream cheese to the pesto.
4. Toss together. Add parmesian on top.


Bachelor instructions: How to cook noodles: Take a few quarts of water, add one four-finger pinch of salt, add a splash of olive oil. Boil. Add noodles (not egg noodles!), broken in half. Stir every 2-3 minutes. Cook to taste, 8-12 minutes. I don't time it though. Usually I avoid opening my first beer until the water's just starting to boil. When that beer's done, the pasta is ready.
