This method is affectionate. The noodles and sauce become one. They cook together, share flavors, and create a dish that tastes like it took hours. But it took twenty minutes. And one pan. And zero apron drama.
So go ahead. Ditch the colander. Embrace the starch. Your future self—lazy, hungry, and brilliant—will thank you. Now go cook. I’ll be here, eating my leftovers straight from the pan. No judgment.
