Looking for VeryVeryVery quick and easy dessert pasta

[nowjanuce]

Hi, all - I had the sudden urge last night to make some kind of quick dessert pasta, but all the recipes I found online were either some variation on kugel, or ingredient-intensive enough that I would have had to go to the store (which I was feeling too lazy to do.) I gave up on the idea eventually, but I thought I'd turn to you all here for advice. Any suggestions? I'm really just looking for one or two (or maybe three) ingredients that I could just toss vermicelli or spaghetti or the like in, with no more involvement or complication, really, than that.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I think there are two reasons why it does what it does so well: first, it's already been partially cooked, to dissolve the sugar and get rid of some of the water; second, it's got carrageenan in it as an emulsifier.

I had a great-uncle who used to put sweetened condensed milk in his tea or coffee, eliminating the need to add sugar as well as milk. I think he picked up this habit during World War One (!)
