A 5-ingredient pasta for busy nights

Abbondanza — Italian for "abundance" — is a bi-monthly column from writer Michael La Corte in which the author shares his tips for making traditional Italian-American recipes even better.

We've all been there. It's been an especially long day, week or hour, you're tired, burnt out or down in the dumps, you're too out of it to whip up an entire meal and you're sick of delivery, but you are feening to eat something.

What do you normally reach for in these occasions? Popcorn? Cereal? Peanut butter and jelly? Tuna? Eggs? Perhaps a quick grilled cheese? It's entirely up to you, of course, but when I'm in this headspace, I typically rely on one particular recipe: Marcella Hazan's famous marinara.
