Tonight's improv pasta: stelline and israeli couscous cooked in vegetable broth with turmeric and garlic, finished with goat cheese, lemon, and pepper. There are not many things I can cook without a recipe, but this style of immersion-cooked pasta is really easy for me. Must have been all that practice making faux risotto with orzo in college. You get some nice savory stuff going with the broth and the garlic, you use a nice tangy cheese like feta or goat cheese, brighten it up with the lemon, and at that point the pepper is very nearly gilding the lily.
(Faux risotto with one of the smaller pasta types is super easy and tasty, fyi.)
