If you have cherry tomatoes, you can make an unbelievably simple pasta sauce by just chucking the tomatoes in, cooking until they go jammy, and perhaps with whatever herbs you like. Once the tomatoes go in, put some pasta on, and in 10ish mins it’ll be ready.
Another simple sauce for pork is if you finely chop some apples, cook it all down until soft, and then throw some cider in, reduce, add stock, and finish with a bit of dijon mustard. Takes very little time, and is greater than the sum of its parts.
Omg I’m totally going to have that first one tonight and add in some pesto.
My husband is out of town and this meatless dish is something he wouldn’t enjoy (not filling enough for him) so we wouldn’t normally make it but I get to enjoy it now thanks to your comment.
Meat isn’t any more filling than other proteins. I hate this idea that’s so common in America. It needs to die. We shouldn’t eat meat with every meal even if that were healthy, which it isn’t. It’s unsustainable. I don’t know how old or open to change your husband is, but I hope this dish works for you and you can convince him to try it.
He enjoys tofu and meat substitutes too, and we’ve enjoyed many vegetarian meals together. But this particular dish I enjoyed tonight wouldn’t be enough for him because it’s just tomatoes and pasta.
Btw, it was delicious. I used fettuccine because I had 3 boxes of it for some reason, plus leftover broccoli from the week.

Looks great, and glad you liked it!
