Hi SoScrooge,

Here are some older threads that might give you some ideas:

Anyone any pasta ideas????

Chicken and pasta?

Ideas to use up cooked pasta anyone?

Pink

add a stock cube (any flavour you like, my favourite is chicken) to the water when cooking your pasta. Once cooked drain it and add some cream cheese and stir through. Add a little twist of black pepper. Very cheap yet very filling and tasty. The stock cube gives the pasta a bit more flavour.

1. Get bag of pasta.
2. Open it.
3. Eat contents.

You dont have to eat pasta for the rest of the year to eat cheapily:D Some of the ingredients needed to make different recipes will still be quite expensive. Do you have a freezer? You could bulk cook and freeze things like: chillies, curries, stews, shepards pies, fishpies...all very very cheapily;)
