too freaking tired/feeling bad to cook or go out --easy recipe
Advertisements [?]
This will feed me for a couple of days.
It's also one of my eating-like-a-bachelorette dishes.
Substitute any ingredient for something else, to your taste.

I cook some pasta (I like whole wheat pasta) to al dente.
Drain most of the water out, I leave a little left with the pasta.

Dump one 28 oz can of crushed or whatever tomatoes.
Dump one 12 oz can of cooked chicken, drain it if you feel like it.
Dump in whatever frozen veggies I have in the freezer.

salt, pepper, some olive oil, throw in whatever other seasonings I feel like..

Throw in 3 cloves of garlic.
I don't bother to chop.
I buy it already peeled from the local mom and pop grocery, and keep in in the freezer for
stuff like this.

Let simmer for however long I feel like it. Usually about 20 minutes, but
I might not feel like getting up of the couch. So an hour is ok too.

If I had any cheese, I might garnish it with that. Any kind will do.
I do have lemon flavored basil in the back yard, so I can throw in some of that on top too...

I'd also prefer to have some wine (if I had any), but water will have to do since I took a muscle relaxer.

quick, easy, brainless, one pot dish.

It will also taste better tomorrow.

Enjoy while watching Ed, Keith, Rachel or Lawrence.
