Pasta with butter and grated cheese. Very basic, very reliable.

What you need

Only 3 things: pasta β€’ butter β€’ grated cheese
  • 1 serving pasta
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Small handful grated cheese

4 steps. Done.

Step 1 of 4
  1. Boil the pasta until soft.
  2. Drain it.
  3. Add butter while it is hot.
  4. Add grated cheese and mix.
  5. Eat warm.
Why this works: It is comforting, predictable, and hard to mess up, which matters when your brain is tired.
  • Use short pasta shapes if they feel easier.
  • Save a little pasta water if you want it smoother.
  • This is a good low-thinking fallback meal.
  • Add black pepper.
  • Add frozen peas near the end if you want more bulk.
  • Use olive oil instead of butter.
  • Add extra cheese if that helps you actually eat it.
