Penne Carbonara.
Takes 2 pans, unless you buy microwave pasta.
Do these things in order - don't wait between then. If you start each one when you finish the previous, you'll end up with a meal at the end.
Buy the following.
Eggs, Cheese (ideally Parmesan, but any hard yellow cheese will do - strong flavoured would b nice), bacon (or ham), Double Cream (I believe you americans call it heavy cream?), quick cook pasta, onion.
1) Put a big pan of water on to boil with dry pasta in it already.
2) Put a skillet on to heat - heavy based non-stick, or add a little oil.
3) Grate the cheese and chop the bacon up small. Chuck it into the pan.
4) Dice the onion. Chuck it into the pan.
5) Mix a 1/4 cup of cream and one egg ylk per person (or use a whole egg and just a splash of cream).
6) Grate the cheese into the egg/cream mix
7) By now the pasta should be cooked.
8) Pour the bacon and onions into the chese/egg/cream mix.
9) Drain the pasta and put it back into the pan you cooked it in (the heat is important).
10) Pour the eggy mess over the pasta and put a lid on.
Leave it on the top of the cooker with the heat off.
Go and get plates and cutlery.
Set the table.
Stir the pan (the heat of the pasta should have cooked the egg mixture and melted the cheese).
Serve.

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
