Really cheap pasta recipes/meals - does anyone have any?

[Lottie4]

We are generally trying to be careful with food shopping, but money is going to be really tight over the next couple of months.

One thing Ido have a large amount of is pasta. Does anyone have any really cheap pasta recipes or things they put with pasta?

I know you can't live on tomato sauce and pasta all the time, but Tesco value tinned tomatoes (or Lidls) are great for making up a sauce and using up ingredients. I'm an onion lover so tend to fry them (although you don't have to use if you don't have) and add tomatoes and simmer. I just add whatever else I have (which usually needs to be used up) - usually pepper, sweetcorn, veggie or normal mince, chicken style quorn pieces, kidney beans, chickpeas and add pepper, chilli flakes or herbs depending on what I fancy. Sometimes I just make up a basic sauce and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese (cheaper in Lidl than Tescos/Sainsburys by the way). Tesco's value pasta is good as well, as really cheap and filling.

We are a family of three and I keep to £50 a week for all food, toiletries, cleaning products so £150 will be doable.
