My first thought was to make raspberry kuchen, but that takes about 40-45 minutes baking time, so I wouldn’t meet the time restriction.

So, I’d probably make my pasta (ingredients: whatever pasta is available, whatever vegetables are available, chicken (optional), shredded cheese, whatever spices are available). Then, I’d get the same reaction as **Lady of the Lake** regarding spiciness, especially if garlic and/or crushed red pepper had been available.

Unless, I can use recipes that I’ve stolen from other people, in which case, I’d make raspberry-filled cinnamon muffins.

All these people claiming they’d probably overdo the hot pepper. Why am I not married to you? Everyone I end up living with hates hot pepper and it drives me bonkers.
