This is an off topic post. Usually I blog about writing but occasionally I love to throw a curve ball out there.
I saw a discussion about cheap meal options for families amid this crisis and wanted to share a dish that I have been making for years. Cheap and tasty.
Pasta Bake.
1 box (12 ounce to 16 ounce) any kind of pasta noodles that tickle your whatsit
1 8 ounce bag of shredded cheese (or you can shred your own if that's your jam. I prefer cheddar for this)
3 cloves of diced garlic
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried italian seasoning
1 26 ounce can of tomato soup (or 2 regular sized cans if your wrists need the extra exercise.)
Cook up the pasta as directed.
Drain and stir in the tomato soup.
Stir in the diced garlic, seasonings, and pepper
add in 1/2 cup of cheese and mix in
put in an oven safe pan -- around 9 x 13 in size or something similar.
Cover with the remaining cheese from the bag
Bake at 400 degrees for right around 10 minutes.
Voila!
This entire meal can feed about 4 people, or 2 really hungry ones for roughly $5-$7, depending on whether you buy store brand ingredients or not.
Hope you enjoyed this.
