Day old French bread or even toast, tinned spaghetti sauce, cheese of choice and any fresh bit of veggies small dice or stir fry a few seconds, left over bits of meat. Take bread cover lightly with sauce, plop on the veggies/meat, cover with cheese broil that sucker and poof you have instant pizza. Works great with bits of Pita Bread or Naan too.
Um....
Boil spinach pasta and toss with hot peppers flakes, tuna in olive oil, salt and pepper and a good strong olive oil. Pine nuts or walnuts can be added for texture.
um..
A few cans on chicken broth or what ever broth makes you happy. Dice a few carrots, celery a bit of onion or garlic. Boil for a few seconds. Throw in whatever little soup pasta you have on hand. poof almost home made chicken soup. I have also been known to add a can of white beans rinsed, a few leaves of fresh spinach and fresh mushrooms too. You can make this a hearty stew type thing with chunckier veggies or with a small dice of the first three it's like tinned soup.
um...
Salads are always easy... like blue cheese and steak on top of whatever greens you want. Toss with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
um..
Pound a few chicken breasts flat or not... Saute with salt, pepper, garlic in a bit of olive oil (can you tell I use almost no other oil!) when they are about done squeeze on a bit of lemon to taste. You can use white wine too or Marsala. Another easy thing is to take the pounded chicken and dust it lightly with flour. Brown it and once it is cooked through add your wine. It makes a nice bit of sauce to serve over rice. Capers add zip too. This can also be used for veal.
um..
well I have a bunch but that's a start.
