PAstas can be cook for cheap with almost anything. Usually the combo greens + crême fraiche works a treat.
Pasta courgettes:
Remove on row of sking every two rows, the head and the tail of the courgettes.
Slice them and put them in a plate with salt on them.
cook them for 3-4 minute in the MWO
While they cook have 2TBSP of olive oil in a pan and put the water for the pasta to boil.
Once the oil is hot added a finely chopped garlic in the oil. Once the garlic is gold add the courgettes, stir until the courgettes get ‘caramelised’.
Et voila. Works better with long and wide pasta.
This work very well with mushrooms, you just have to use pot with a lid and no MWO to have nice sauce for the pasta. Use farfale in this case.
Penne with provence veggies:
One aubergine, on green and one red pepper, 5 tomatoes and two courgettes.
Chop everything in small dices (1 cubic cm more or less), cook in olive oil starting with green pepper then aubergine then red pepper and courgettes. Add salt and pepper. once everything start to golden, add the tomatoes and a glass of water. Double check the salt and pepper.
Once coocked, mix with the penne and add some finely chopped chive on the top. You can add some parmegiano. Et voila… That’s a serving for 4 people.
Omelette. Very easy, dirt cheap, put a hint of balsamic vinegar for a little something and make sure you stir properly. You can add tuna or a bit of cheese or some some finely chopped ham inside.
Veggie casserole, the combo potatoes, carrots, spinach and oignon with some ground cumin is delicious. If you want to have it done quickly, use a skin peeler to make some small stripes of the potatoes/carrots.
Get some chicken stripes, leaves them in a plate with garlic and lemon juice over night, get some normal oil in a pan until very hot, chunk the chicken in… 4 minutes later you have your meal is ready 😉
Home made pizza should cost you absolute peanuts.
