How much oil are you guys talking about adding?

Should be no more than a drop then it won't have any effect other than to separate the pasta!

One drop should be enough to form a coat on the entire surface area of the pasta to prevent them from sticking together.

Why are you pointing at the pasta? What was the pasta guilty of?
The pasta is innocent.


Nah, looks ok and what's more important is the taste . . .

Yes, I lived in Italy as well and my best mate's father had an excellent Italian Restaurant in Kings Cross, Sydney, Natalino's . . . . always a dash of olive oil in the water

I cook a lot of Pasta, and once every hundres times I might add a little olive oil, and as long as the water is boiling well it never sticks and if it is not boiling it will stick anyway.

No offence JJ, but if the fish smell of that stuff at 2am in the morning cooking after a few beers didn't make me barf, the acid in the tomatoes would.

What happened to good old bacon sandwiches? Green for your efforts though, would make a good lunch dish.

Try it it's good. The sugar reduces tha acidity of the toms. In the end it's just a big plate of tomatoey, chilli,cheesy, fishy, garlicy, pasta stuff. I liked it. As, more importantly did Jet.

Oh yes, Joy likes it too.

JJ...but I have to question you on a rule point...is this a snack (10 minutes or less to make) or a meal?

In my opinion, if you boil water in something other then a kettle, then its more indicative of a meal, rather than a snack.

Great pictoral thread though!

Given that I'm a greedy bstard my snacks tend to take on abnormally exaggerated dimensions.

Also, if I call it a snack I don't feel so bad about the plentiful repast I'd consumed earlier in the evening.

Sorry, JJ, don't like fishy pasta sauces. Bet Jet loved it, though!!!


Best & easiest drunken pasta meal - spaghetti with olive oil, garlic & chilli (preferably dried). Gotta be careful if really pissed not to slice your fingers with the garlic, though.

Unfortunately there's a bit of a shortage of American Diners out here. Can't imagine why.

Saw this method of cooking pasta on a TV cooking show, and I've used it ever since:

Bring water to a boil, add your pasta to the boiling water, stir it a bit, then turn the heat completly off.

Cover and let it sit for 8 minutes if you want al dente, longer of course if you like your noodles softer.

I usually stir around the 4 minute mark to prevent sticking. Never add salt or oil, no problem.
No fuss, no muss.

I am afraid that I am not as creative as JJ and if I did try to cook when I was pissed it could be disastrous. Restrict myself to turning on micro-wave ovens and opening tablet packaging!

This is what I normally have and when I arrive home pissed and hungry.

1. FOUR N TWENTY PIE: Gotta be one of the best in the world.
2. " " Sausage roll: Fcukin lubly.
3. 7 Omega 3 tablets: Great for you and fart like hell in the morning
4. 2 Panadol for the head.
5. Litres and litres of water.

Works for me and I don't hurt myself or burn the kitchen down in the process.

Notice I left the price tag of the pie on for JJ to see.
107 Baht for a fcukin pie!
I know mate "highway robbery" and don't tell me again I am only trying to show off.

I know, I know, you could probably feed your whole village for that money and for a month.
