Sometimes one has to prioritize how to use "a couple minutes" in the kitchen. Most of what we eat is made from scratch, in my kitchen, by me. It's also gluten-free, soy free, lactose free (to the extent possible) because there are 2 celiacs and a kid with a laundry list of food allergies here. We use high quality gluten-free pasta (yes, it DOES exist) and make the sauce with herbs I grow. If you haven't tried cooking with herbs right of the plant, you're in for a surprise when you try it. Priorities differ.
