No-Sauce Pasta

I made this up in college when I had no food left and have loved it ever since. Not only is it sauceless but I make it all in one pot which is great for cleanup! There are several variations depending on what I have on hand, so let me start with the basics.

A hand full of whole wheat pasta, typically angel hair broken in half
and a handfull of plain pasta, sometimes fettuccine broken in half
cook and drain pan until there is just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan

Add enough olive oil to thinly coat pasta and cook on medium until the remaining water is cooked out.
mix in seasoning: season with italian seasoning and red pepper flakes to taste
after it gets on your plate top it with grated Parmesan cheese (not the kraft version please! get the good stuff)

Sometimes I add diced pork or chicken. Sometimes I add a half a can of drained petite diced tomatoes or fresh diced tomatoes and a pinch of chopped olives.

Today we had it like this:

same ingredients for pasta and olive oil
equal parts basil, oregano, and ground black pepper (1 tsp each?)
about 1/4 tsp salt, red pepper flakes, and dehydrated onion flakes
one clove pressed garlic
thinly cut pieces of left over spiral ham

With it we had sliced baguette sprayed with olive oil and sprinkled with a Sicilian dipping seasoning, and we would have had acorn squash if we weren't too full. I just discovered it and I think its delicious. Just slice it in half, spoon out the seeds, place it face down on a plate and microwave it for 9 minutes until tender then spoon it out and mix it with a little butter and brown sugar or just eat it plain.
