I love a convenient weeknight meal, but have you ever eaten the same thing day after day and found yourself questioning if you could do better?

I reached this point last week, while mindlessly pouring a stir-through sauce over cooked pasta. It’s easy and it tastes fine—it’s just not exciting. I have to pour half a cup of Parmesan cheese over it to enjoy it.
