If you need to cook up something quick and simple, here is my suggestion.
Ingredients:
1. Pasta
2. Pasta sauce, Tomato or Mushroom flavour
3. Salt
4. Optional: Chunky mushroom, parsley, chicken meat
Instruction:
1. Soak pasta in water till it becomes soft, take about 20 minutes.
2. Wash the pasta and change to clean water. Boil pasta with 1 table spoon of salt till cooked, takes about 10 minutes.
3. Pour away water and add pasta sauce and other cooked ingredients while pasta is still hot. Mix well.
4. Transfer your mixed pasta to plate and serve with a sprinkle of parsley.
