I'm on a really tight budget at the moment, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some really nice, really cheap recipes?

Hi, this is a really cheap and easy, either lunch or dinner recipe, just for you :)

Its a cream cheese pasta or cream cheese pasta bake..


1 full pack (small spiral) pasta........
1/4 cup mixed herbs
Half an onion (finely diced).........
2 cups diced (bacon or ham)...........
1/2 cup grated cheese
1 cup thickened cream....
1 cup milk....
1 3/4 cup of water....


To start,

Cook pasta in a pot of water until its about half cooked.
Meanwhile, while your waiting on the pasta we'll start the sauce.
Add water, milk, and thickened cream to another pot, and stir till mixed.
Get a small frying pan and just cook the onion till light golden brown, then add to cream sauce.
Then add the (bacon or ham) to the sauce and leave to cook for about 2-3 mins.
Drain the pasta and add to sauce mix and stir through. Add mixed herbs and cheese and toss around.

Then serve on plate with whatever or eat by itself.

Or,

You could pull out a baking tin/dish, spray a bit of cooking spray in it and add the pasta, then sprinkle cheese on top. Wack it in the oven for 10 mins at about 190, and then its done.

Serves 6.
