15. Linguine with clam sauce.

Super simple. Sauce is just some olive oil, 2 cans of chopped clams, parsley, garlic, black pepper. I usually add some red pepper flakes to kick it up a little, and sometimes a bit of white wine of I have something open. Simmer everything to meld the flavors while the pasta cooks. Put one ladleful of the pasta water into the sauce, drain the pasta, then put everything into the pot and serve.

One of my go-to meals when I don't feel like messing with a lot of prep work. Can get from the "I dunno...what do *you* want?" stage to eating in about a half hour.
