I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you're tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

Because regular cooking is a lot more involved than just sitting back and watching bacon and pasta cook. Seriously, I don't do anything for most of the 20 minutes.

I mean, there's chopping, mixing... Hell, even some vigorous mixing!

Most of these comments say to boil pasta. The majority of the effort is just mixing stuff. I don't even measure anything...I just go with what my heart tells me. At most, it's 5 minutes effort and 15 minutes waiting.
