Mom called it 'aglio e olio', but considering that it's 'tomato paste and garlic and oil and a few other things' rather than just plain ol' garlic and oil, the name may be inaccurate. It's better done as pasta e ceci or pasta e lenticchie, if you ask me, but the root dish is just pasta and that specific sauce. Coming a very close second is cacio e pepe, which is basically spaghetti, Romano cheese, black pepper, and a couple spoonfuls of heavy cream and olive oil each.
... a friend of mine who stayed at my apartment for some time a while back asked me one day if I didn't ever get tired of pasta. I distinctly remember giving a blank look and saying, "Tired of food?" in reply.
