Pasta With Sauted Vegetables

The process of lust is simple. It begins with attraction, it turns quickly to dissatisfaction with your current situation – you become dissatisfied with your spouse or with the one that you are supposedly in love with – it moves to fixation on another and you become ungrateful, discontented, and obsessive. You become filled with lust, and your thoughts and your mind are filled with images of the other person. You have nothing on your mind but an appetite for them. This person becomes on object of worship. They eventually are not even considered a person, because they’re an object, and you’re just looking for satisfaction. Gentlemen, this is classic idolatry!

INGREDIENTS

1	lb	Fresh pasta, 1/2 pound dried
2	T	Extra virgin olive oil

1/4	t	Red pepper flakes, crushed

1/2	c	Parmesan cheese, grated

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring 1 gallon of water to a boil in a large pot. Add dried pasta,  and
cook to al dente-to the tooth- (just soft enough so that it still  must
be chewed). Drain in a colander. For fresh pasta, turn the heat  down
to low, cover the pot and hold water on warm until the  vegetables are
almost done before you cook the pasta. Put oil and  garlic into a large
skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook the  garlic just until it
begins to color, not beyond or it will burn and  be bitter. Add the
vegetables in the order that they will cook,  starting with those that
will take the longest. Move them constantly  with a spatula so they
will not overcook in one spot. For fresh  pasta, reboil the water at
this point, and cook the pasta during  final minutes of cooking the
vegetables. Drain. Add the herbs to the  vegetables and mix to
distribute. When the vegetables are almost  cooked (still a bit too
crunchy), add canned tomato and crushed  pepper flakes, turn the heat
down to low, and simmer for 3-4 mi! ! !  nutes to blend the flavors.
Taste and add kosher salt if necessary.  NOTES : This quick, easy, and
straight forward pasta recipe has been  dinner hundreds of times in my
house. Timing is important: fresh  pasta cooks in 3 ~ 5 minutes, but
dried pasta takes up to 12 - 15  minutes. I usually cook dried pasta
first, drain it, toss it with 1  1/2 tbsp. olive oil and cover it while
the vegetables cook. To serve,  transfer the cooked, drained pasta to
the plates (with tongs) or to a  pasta platter. Ladle the vegetables
over the pasta and garnish each  serving with 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese.
