OK let's assume that you already have a microwave oven to serve up quick meals however, have you tried pressure cooking? Pressure cooking is a fast, convenient, safe, fun and easy way to prepare a whole host of foods from roasts, to poultry, to stews, soups and chowder and veggies and more. For instance; you can cook an entire corned beef and cabbage dinner with all the veggies for four in about 45 minutes depending upon the size of the corned beef. I recommend purchasing an electric programmable pressure cooker so you don't have to monitor cooking on a stove top and also have it automatically start and stop at the right times. A truly fantastic way to cook and save you 70%-80% cooking times cooking any other way.

Fastest Dinner in the West:
Boil water, cook pasta. (I'd use thin spaghetti or vermicelli but you can use any shape) When you drain, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
In skillet, fry up some bacon bits. Add garlic, and cook until soft - don't let it burn. Add a cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup cream.
Stir over very low heat. Add drained pasta. Crack two eggs, beat into pasta mix. Turn off heat, stir gently to cover pasta with sauce. Add small amount of reserved pasta water to thin sauce as needed. Garnish with fresh chopped Italian parsley. Bon gusto!
