Have you ever gotten home knowing you have to make yourself dinner, but you simply can't be bothered?

If you said no, you're probably lying because we have all been there.

Usually when we find ourselves in this position we end up cooking some variation of chicken and rice, or tuna and rice, or maybe even just plain spaghetti with olive oil and salt.

But, thanks to Donna Hay, we now have a new – and delicious – recipe to add to our "I'm way too tired to cook a proper meal" dinner repertoire.

In a new interview with the Sydney Morning Herald Hay shared that her "signature dish" is actually one of her most simple.

"I love to make a pasta dish we call studio pasta," she told the publication.

"It sums up moments in my career and the flavours I like to combine, and it's very humble and basic."

She explained you can make it using any kind of pasta and that you only need a handful of ingredients to throw it together.

"Add olive oil, lemon rind, garlic, chilli, capers, and fry it all up," she said. "It creates a crunchy and well-flavoured zing."
