Amazing what delicate food can be served, even with minimalistic kitchen supplies fit for boats like a Seascape 27. With only one pot, one pan, one hotplate, some cutlery and the proper ingredients, a tasteful pasta is an easy treat. Best think about it: the ingredients don’t require cooling.

So I thought I do something useful for a change and write down the recipe. Just in case it’s raining and barbecue is totally out of the question of course.

Equipment

• deep frying pan or pot (for the sauce)
• pot (for the noodles)
• cutting board and knife (to cut)
• one hot plate

Ingredients

• noodles – preferably a type where a lot of sauce sticks to
• (fresh) garlic
• (fresh)  basil
• onions
• canned chopped tomatoes
• salt & pepper
• sugar
• Parmesan cheese

Instructions

The Sauce

• Cut the garlic into slices – not to small once.
• Do the same with the onions
• In your pan, braise both lightly in olive oil
• add chopped tomatoes
• add a little sugar
• salt and pepper to taste
• add chopped basil for taste and color
• cook for ~10 minutes without the lid

The noodles

• Put the pot / pan with the sauce aside. Cover it with a lit, if you have one
• Cook the noodles to your liking
• When done, put the sauce on plate again until its hot again (~ 2-3 minutes)

 Serving

Add fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese on top of the noodles and sauce. Enjoy with a light and fruitful red wine or single malt scotch like me on the picture below.

Enjoy your meal!
