Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

[akatonbo]

I am the world's laziest cook, pretty much; 30 Minute Meals is too much time for me unless 20 minutes of it is something cooking in the oven. (Actual cook time is not so much of an issue, since roasted veggies may take an hour in the oven but there's almost no prep, but low required maintenance is important for anything that takes a long time.)

I do not know a lot of techniques, and while I'm not a vegetarian I rarely cook anything that used to walk, swim, or fly unless someone else has done all the work of trimming it. However, I was raised by parents who know how to cook, one of whom is a master of improv, so I have decent instincts for screwing around in the kitchen.

My dinner tonight was improvised with guidance from this recipe (found via Google). What I actually used is in parentheses throughout the directions.
