Hey, I’m Cyrus — Welcome to My Pasta Blog!

Simple recipes. Basic tools. Big flavor.

If you’re new to the kitchen or just looking for some no-fuss, go-to pasta meals, you’re in the right place. I started this blog to help people like you (and honestly, me too) cook with confidence — especially when time, money, or motivation are in short supply.

A Delicious spaghetti aglio e olio with garlic and chili flakes

My Ride-or-Die Recipe:

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

This is the one I always come back to. Garlic, olive oil, chili flakes, and spaghetti. That’s it — and somehow it still tastes like magic.
 Here’s the full recipe I use

How I make it:

Toss it all together and eat straight from the pan (no shame)

Boil spaghetti

Sauté garlic in olive oil

Add red pepper flakes

What I Bring to Every Potluck

Pasta salad.
It’s chill, flexible, and super easy to throw together.
I usually mix whatever pasta I’ve got with chopped veggies, some feta or cheddar, and a quick vinaigrette. Done.

Only Got 30 Minutes?

Cook Aglio e Olio — seriously.
It’s fast, filling, and you’ll feel like a genius after making it. Perfect for weeknights or when you’re starving and have no clue what to cook.
