Coleman's tuna pasta bake mix.
Reminds me of a cold rainy evening at home with my mum when i was about 6, waiting for dad to get home from work so we could eat. I sat watching the cheese bubble through the oven door. Absolutely nothing significant happened, just a very random nostalgic memory I get.

5 sliced up hotdog sausages, cooked in with 100g pasta shapes then drained and mixed with a slug of double cream, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and 80g of grated cheese. Melts together into the most delicious cheese sauce.

DH makes a recipe from The Greeen Roasting Tin book I think. It's vine tomatoes cooked with orzo pasta. Simple but comforting.

Egg and chips if just feeling like I need a hug. ‘Egg-in-a-cup’ if a bit poorly. Both with white bread and butter and a cup of tea.
