8 PM. Fridge empty. Pantry has pasta, garlic, olive oil, breadcrumbs.

That's dinner: spaghetti aglio e olio. 15 minutes. Roman classic.

The technique: Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining. Toss pasta with garlic oil over high heat, adding pasta water gradually. It emulsifies into a silky sauce.

The upgrade: toasted breadcrumbs on top. Textural contrast. Simple becomes memorable.

If you don’t know what to make, get some kale and make the named soup. Thanks to Helen Rosner (and Amal for introducing us to this guideline of a recipe).
