Did you ever
... spend a lot of time cooking something - like really cooking on the stove, no microwave, only to have it come out tasting like crap.
Sauteed zucchini and tomatoes with bowtie pasta. How can that be fucked up? Only the skill and magic that is the debu_cooking can answer that.
No amount of salt or pepper will make this edible.
Story of my life. Nastiness in disguise.
Tricks for next time: Brush the veggies with a light coating of olive oil and grill 'em on the Foreman.
Sautee minced garlic, capers, sundried tomatoes, and black olives in a pan with a teensy bit of butter or margerine.
Do the pasta separate (and add salt to the water) and add a teensy bit of butter to the pasta to slick it up.
Add the grilled and sauteed stuff at the end and squeeze a little bit of lemon juice over the top.

First, take away the tomoatoes and zucchini. Using "vegetables" is your first mistake. Replace these things with a cheeseburger.
Don't put the cheeseburger on the bowtie pasta though. Instead, remove the bowtie pasta and replace it with an equal number of tater tots.
There. All better.
