Bruschetta,but make it spaghetti.
EASY

Bruschetta pasta,heavy on the breadcrumbs

Here's one for those "all I can manage is to throw a heft of dried pasta in some boiling water" moments. It's light and bright and perfect for hot nights. My only caveat:basil. So,so much fresh basil. Plus room temperature tomatoes so the juices are ready to flow. And please make your own breadcrumbs with a knob of leftover sourdough;the difference it makes to this (and any) dish is significant.
