Jamie Oliver's Sausage Gnocchi

 Jamie Oliver's Quick Sausage Gnocchi with Warm Winter Salad:

Aglio e olio

 Thomas G has a YouTube short: aglio e olio my favorite midnight pasta.

Season boiling water and add the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, add oil to a pan.
Add finely sliced garlic to the pan and let it toast over medium heat with the chili flakes.
Once the pasta is done, drain it and add to the pan with a little bit of pasta water.
Stir to emulsify and then turn off the heat and finely chopped parsley.
Season to taste.

Ingredients.
1 pound pasta
Salt
1/3c extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp garlic
Chili pepper to taste
2 tablespoons parsley

Note, some people in the comments suggest adding a squeeze of lemon or even anchovies (how about capers?).

Another suggestion was to cook it in less water, so the water has a higher starch content.

NUMMI - or what General Motors learnt from Toyota and then took too long to implement

This American Life had an interesting two part audio series on the General Motors Fremont plant in California. This was General Motor's worst plant. Then as part of a joint venture with Toyota the work force was sent to Japan to learn how to make Toyota cars. The plant turned around so much that in the end the cars they were making exceeded the quality of Japanese cars.

Australia's simplest Portfolio (VAS + VGS) - What they're not telling you

Invest in Super first, then make sure you also have a diversified portfolio with defensive investments. VGS does not cover emerging markets either. A200 and IOZ both have lower fees than VAS. So, keep the majority of the portfolio in Super, the portion outside Super should be diversified across stocks, the stock component should include access to the fast growing emerging markets and VAS should probably be replaced by A200 because of the lower management fees.
