I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you're tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

It is. What constitutes "cooking" for the purposes of "what can I be assed doing" is a tricky question, though. Carbonara is arguably a simple recipe, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily low effort...

If your idea of "cooking" is just throwing a bunch of stuff together in a frying pan, then yeah I guess this is cooking. My idea of cooking involves more technique than just stirring a few things.

If you want dead simple, boil some pasta, drain, dump in a can of Catelli meat sauce, stir, serve. I did this a lot in college.

If you want dead dead simple, dump bag of Green Giant Garlic Pasta into pan, cook until warm, serve.

How low effort does it have to be? I thought 5 steps was low effort. Even if this is a huge effort for you because you've never done it before, do it once or twice and you'll want to do this from now on before reaching for the blue box.
