milski sorry I scared you off my island. I made a little fax machine and ringing bell and I was gonna fax your info and then ring the bell to let you in my island :P
@Fuzzy Cumulonimbus Cloud No problem! Tbh I didn't know which person it was and thought it might have been an old college friend who I didn't really talk to, so I was a bit on edge :P

i got bad poops the other day but it was probably from the delivery food not agreeing with my stomach and not me contracting a fatal illness, although i guess with a severe enough case of food poisoning it could be both
I appreciate getting synopses of Kitchen Nightmares in here from time to time, I get most of the schadenfreude in a significantly reduced amount of time
I'm skipping a lot of them because they're so formulaic
The one I'm watching at the moment: family Italian restaurant, started by chef who thought he could make it as an owner
I'm 30s in and I'm going to predict that the kitchen is full of frozen food in unsanitary conditions, there's a lack of leadership in the kitchen, family members at each other's throats, and the menu is massive and gross-looking

If you put garlic powder and red pepper flakes in oil, then toss pasta in them and put pecorino romano on it, then the results are good.
Also you can do it without leaving your house.
it is surprising how resilient this basic recipe is to changes in quality of ingredients
like sure ideal perfect fresh garlic slices in olive oil or butter and simmered and then tossed with pasta is more delicious but it's 100% not necessary
Basing everything off oil, garlic, and onion was a good strategy for the Italians
I am not a fan of pasta, nor, (or perhaps hence) of Italian cuisine
but I'll tell you, throw some vegetables in that red pepper garlic oil--

like, a buncha tomatoes? Good plan!
leave that to simmer for a good three, four hours. Then brown some beef or sausage, throw it in there with your vegetables... give it a good hour or so to work, then pour the vegetables over pasta.

To be fair these are all common traits that will tank a restaurant.

Or hell just reduce that sauce enough you can eat it as is. Maybe poach some eggs in it and lie to yourself about it being shakshuka.
Fuck steamed rice (which is pasta in disguise)
But yeah, I'd just eat tomato pepper garlic vegetables as-is, that sounds delicious--poaching eggs in there? S tier.
There was a time when I went through making a nice pasta sauce and then realized far too late I did not in fact have pasta like I assumed I had.
BUT, I did have a loaf of garlic bread I had purchased to go with it. So I warmed it up in the bag, separated it into several realistically plate-sized portions, spooned the sauce over those, coated them bitches in cheese and broiled it.
Happy accidents.

For a while I was sauteing broccoli in oil with lemon juice with lots of garlic. It was so good. You also definitely didn't need to pour it over or bury it in some mass of undifferentiated carbs. You could just eat it!
Idk if there are vegetables that are bad when just cooked in oil with salt & pepper, and maybe a thing or two for flair if you want but that's not even necessary

pour it into a big hoagie or something!
Or put it over some steamed rice.

So you like antipasto
Antipasto should explode when it touches pasta

Capricious would be my opinion, the origin would be arbitrary, as in under the power of the capricious arbitrator.
I have been known to just eat it with a bag of tortilla chips, like a pasta dip.

It's a bummer being vegetarian-adjacent, because typically people's idea of "great for vegetarians" is "lots of pasta"
