There’s a certain joy in creating a dish that doesn’t demand a trip to a specialty store or a pantry full of exotic items. Growing up in a coastal town, we often had to make do with what was available locally, and that taught me the beauty of simplicity. This pasta recipe with less ingredients is a celebration of that simplicity. It’s quick to prepare, easy on the budget, and perfect for those evenings when you want to spend less time cooking and more time with your loved ones. Plus, with fewer ingredients, the natural flavors of each component shine through, making it a dish that’s both satisfying and wholesome.
