Rustic Honey-Garlic Pantry Pasta

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

8 oz dried pasta (any shape you have)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dried herbs (Italian seasoning, oregano, or thyme)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt to taste

Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the honey and dried herbs.
Add drained pasta to the skillet along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit more pasta water to reach desired consistency.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve immediately in warm bowls.

This simple dish transforms everyday pantry ingredients into a deliciously balanced pasta with sweet, savory, and spicy notes. The honey creates a subtle sweetness that complements the garlic perfectly.

Beginner's Longevity Planreasoning

Create a starter plan for improving long-term health.

Anthropic · Jun 2023text

Here is a 1-month beginner health and longevity plan focused on diet, exercise, and sleep:

Diet:

Eliminate sugary drinks and limit sweets. Replace with water and fruits.
Eat more veggies. Aim for 1-2 cups with each meal. Focus on dark leafy greens, broccoli, carrots.
Increase fiber intake. Eat beans, lentils, oats, berries, and nuts.
Cook at home more instead of eating out.

Exercise:

Walk for 30+ minutes, 4-5 days per week. Start slow if needed and gradually in crease pace and distance. Go ing outside is great motivation! - Do bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges and pu shups 2-3 times per week. Start with 5-10 reps, 2 sets. Build up gradually. Can be done at home with no equipment.

Sleep:

Stick to a regular sleep/wake time schedule, even on weekends.
Develop an relaxing pre-bed routine - hot bath, read a book (not a screen), un wind.
Make your bedroom dark, quiet, and cooler temperature. Remove screens and dist racting devices.
Try to get 7-8 hours a night. Nap if excessively tired but limit to 30 minutes .

The key is developing sustainable habits. Start with small, realistic changes fo cused on nutrient-dense whol e foods, more activity in your day, and consistent restful sleep. Monitor energy and how you feel to track progress. Be patient, stay positive, and congratulate small wins. After a month reevaluate and build upon what's working. The journey continues by adding more longevity boosting practices around stress management, connections with others, and finding purpose. But this is an excellent healthy foundation to start with!
