More Writin' Rations™

Man, this is a good feed:

Heat the oven to about 325F/160C. Boil up a package of pasta (one pound, 500g, more or less). Mix it with a pint (500g) or so of ricotta, two cups of chopped peppers (capsicum) and tomatoes (total of two cups, although if you have a baking dish big enough, I suppose there's no reason it couldn't be two cups each), and two cups or so of spaghetti sauce of your choice. Place into the baking dish and top heavily as you would a pizza. I used mozarella, pepperoni, and grated fresh parmesan, and lots of each. Bake until very toasty and brown on top and you hear a vigorous sizzling noise from the baking dish when you open the oven to check. (Check at a half hour and then make your decision as to whether it's toasty and sizzly enough.)

This will make enough food for three or four people, two meals a day, for at least two days. Let's see, that's...16 person-meals. Perhaps more, if any of the people are little and/or consume smaller-than-average quantities. Fairly cheap, too, if you just get supermarket ricotta and parmesan, and not the really expensive stuff from the Italian deli down the road. (Don't be ridiculous. Of course there's one near you. If there isn't, move.) And just think of how delicious this dish will be with the expensive stuff from the Italian deli down the road.

I'd just like to add that these are good composer's rations too!
