What's your "fuck I've got no food in" dinner?

Mines pasta. With whatever I can find to chuck at it/stir into it.

Anyone have any failsafe dinners they know they always have in?

That's exactly what happened to me today-
making a risotto with some chicken breasts I thawed and the left over ham and I'll throw in some frozen peas.
I always have parmesan, stock, onions and garlic so easy to throw together.
I also do the same with pasta-jamie oliver has some great basic quick and easy ones that you can then jazz up with whatever you've got in...
