<human>:  How do you make a simple pasta dish?
<bot>: To make a simple pasta dish, start by boiling your favorite type of pasta in salted water. Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water and set it aside. Heat up some olive oil in a pan and sauté minced garlic and diced onion until fragrant. Add some optional vegetables such as cherry tomatoes and bell peppers, and sauté until soft. Finally, add the cooked pasta, along with a few tablespoons of your favorite sauce, and stir together until everything is combined. Serve your simple pasta dish hot and enjoy!
