Kettle Pasta Toss

Boiling water and a jar of sauce — dinner with no stove and no plan.

No stovetop, no problem — a kettle and a bowl are all this needs. Boiling water softens angel hair just like a pot would, it just takes a little patience instead of a boil. Stir in whatever sauce you've got and it's dinner, no matter where you're cooking from.
