Hurricane Cuisine - Pasta with Cupboard Sauce

Personally, I am relishing the opportunity to spend two days inside, with a terrifying wind howling around my apartment while my children alternate between desperately hanging on me in fear of the wind, and bored out of their minds. Hurricanes are fun! Since I'm fairly certain we New Yorkers will be spending some time "electricity free", it's time to think about what you can cook from non-perishables. And I HATE canned soup, so that's out. One of my suggestions is to make a dish I'm going to dub "Pasta with Cupboard Sauce". Everything is from your pantry. Basically, start with:
- your favorite brand of pasta sauce
- a box of pasta (You probably have one in there. But I don't have a case of whole wheat pasta purchased at Costco last month for no reason. I would never do that.)
- a jar of marinated artichokes (might have to pick this up)
- a jar of sliced mushrooms
- a can black olives.
Just drain the various jars and add the to the pasta sauce (I only use a handful of olives, but the whole jar of artichokes and mushrooms) and warm up the sauce. Cook the pasta and add the Cupboard Sauce. It's surprisingly tasty, especially if you add Parmesan. This recipe is also great for those desperate days when you never made it to the supermarket.  Anybody got other ideas for hurricane meals?
