Fifteen minutes is ok for pasta if you can sart the water heating
earlier.
If you start a sauce by sauteeing a chopped onion, it takes about 7
minutes before you add other things to the sauce. Another seven to
cook whatever else you put in and you are good to go.
Possibilities include putanesca, using olives, capers, garlic, and
tomato.
Garlic and anchovies in oil.
Thinly sliced salmon that will get cooked when you toss it in the
pasta.
Littleneck clams scrubbed and zapped to open added to a sauce made of
stuff already mentioned.
Guanciale (close enough to bacon?)
