Put things in my mouth. Vicariously.

Got you beat on simplicity.

- pasta (spaghetti, usually, personally I like penne)
- olive oil
- garlic (fresh juicy garlic is best, don't use nasty dry garlic)

Cook your pasta. While that's going on you can peel a few cloves of garlic and cut then into thin slices (they don't need to nor should they be as thin as possible, it's okay if they still have a little bulk to them.) Let's say 2-3 cloves, more if you like of course. When your pasta is almost done heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, throw in your garlic and fry it until it's just a light golden brown. At that stage it will be crispy and slightly sweet. At some point during the browning process you should have drained your pasta, so throw it in the pan now, toss for a few seconds to coat the pasta with oil and garlic, and plate. Salt and pepper to taste.

Citrus peels contain some of the major aromatic oils so you should definitely zest it and add some, but make absolutely sure it's free of pesticides, wax and all that stuff they tend to spray citrus with. Keep an eye open while shopping and you should find good ones.
