Assorted leftover veggies, an heirloom (Early Girl) tomato, fresh and dried herbs, [View all]

onion, garlic (all sauteed in a pan), and 2 ounces of angel hair pasta makes a delicious, easy and inexpensive lunch. I spent as much time making it as I would have driving to some dump like McDonald's for garbage food.

I love salads for lunch, but sometimes I want more of a "meal" meal.

What are some of the lunchtime favorites of the group here?
