if i forget to take out the frozen food in advance i will usually defrost the stuff in warm(ish) water rather than microwave it.
is there any limit as to how much this pasta recipe can cost to make?

Holiday pasta (recipe inventedwhen we were staying in a caravan and had to use up everything we'd bought before going home...) - add 1 tin green beans, 1 tin sweetcorn, 1 tin tuna, 2 chopped spring onions, half a bag of halved cherry tomatoes, and a tub of medium fat cream cheese plus a dollop of mayonnaise to cooked pasta. Season with black pepper and serve with a generous grating of parmesan.

OR - pretty green'n'pink pasta

Grate a couple of courgettes and saute gently in olive oil with some garlic, add a tin of pink salmon and some creme fraiche, season with black pepper and heat through. Stir through cooked pasta and serve with generous helpings of parmesan.

Don't forget that WHOLEMEAL pasta provides 4g of fibre per serving is better for your health.

Morrisons is the best place for wholewheat lasagne I've found. Here a recipe for Whole Wheat Spinach Lasagna for which I would spinach left over from the day before as I always have it growing in the garden.
Swiss Chard substitutes for spinach. If you chop it well you can use the stalks as well as the leaves. It appears to be doing better than the spinach in my garden at the moment.

Hmm.... the cheaper, the better, but I will be prepared to splash on an odd extra ingredient

We always seem to have garlic and onions, tomatoes (fresh and canned), frozen parsley.

You don't need a microwave to defrost your pasta sauce. Do it the Old Style way! Firstly, plan what you'll be eating 24 hours ahead. Take the pasta sauce from the freezer and put in the fridge. By the time you want to eat it, it'll be thawed, so saving your fridge compressor a bit of work, and saving electricity for your microwave.

Aubergine pasta: fry cubed aubergine with onion and garlic. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes, and a bit of pepper/chilli. Cook your pasta. Arrange pasta in ovenproof dish, cover with aubergine sauce, sprinkle with mozarella. Cook gas 5 for about 30mins.
