What do you put in pasta when you have nothing?

Ok this sounds weird, BUT, butter + soy sauce + parmigiano/parmesan. Soy sauce with pasta is a game changer.

Butter, Garlic and loads of black pepper but there's always going to be a half used jar of pesto somewhere in the fridge.

Recently tried Kirkland's Basil Pesto from Costco and it is AMAZING. A little goes a long way and can transform a plain dish. Especially delicious on zucchini noodles, but would be good on any pasta. I'm going to have this as a staple now for those days when I don't have much else in the kitchen.

Aglio e Oglio! This is the most basic you can ever add to your pasta! Would be nice if parmesan is on hand too

I always have Pesto Rosso in my pantry!

Blue cheese!! I make this whenever I have half piece of blue cheese leftover - simply melt with a tiny bit of milk and add pepper. It has become my families favourite pasta dish (pic is version with crispy sage, fried pancetta cubes and parmesan on top)

@I’m worth it - you can use tamari sauce for gluten free! Or coconut aminos if you’re sensitive to soy. Any of those add a punch of umami!

also speaking of Pestos, I just tried the Trader Joe’s vegan pesto with kale and cashew and was pleasantly surprised! I had to add a little extra salt and I used tomato powder for an umami boost

I prefer to use all herbs from my garden - basil, dill🪴🌿🌱🌾🌴🌳
