WHAT TO EAT WHEN YOU'RE LOW ON FUNDS | FRUGAL MEALS

Описание: Today I'm sharing two frugal meals that can be made for less than $3 and feed a family of four. These are extreme budget meals that you can add on to if you have a higher budget. These are meant to help a family make it until payday.

SPAGHETTI SALAD
spaghetti 0.93
tomatoes 1.50
cucumbers 0.42
TOTAL= $2.85

Dressing for salad
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup oil of your choice ( I used EVOO)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp oregano ( I used ground oregano because that's what I had)
1 tsp basil
salt and pepper to taste
add 1- 2 tsp of sugar or more to your liking.

*If you want you can double this recipe and keep remainder for other salads. If you are trying to conserve resources, make this and see if it is enough for your liking depending on the number of servings

PASTA COOKING METHOD

add pasta to boiling water that has been seasoned with salt, stir to make sure it doesn't clump together. Remove from heat and cover with lid. Set timer to desired level of consistency. For Al Dente with the La Moderna noodles I used, it was 7 minutes.

For spaghetti salad, drain and rinse with cool water. Make sure it is drained well and dried out a little before adding dressing

SPAGHETTI ALLA NERANO
spaghetti 0.93
2 zucchini 1.77
TOTAL = $2.37

Deep fry zucchini in oil until lightly brown. Remove and drain, then refrigerate covered for at least a few hours. Start cooking pasta in salted water. Add zucchini back to pan with a little oil then add a little pasta water and cook until zucchini starts breaking down. Help it along with a spoon or other device, helping to break up the zucchini. Keep adding pasta water until it is to the desired consistency then toss with spaghetti.

If you have butter, add a little in when you are cooking the zucchini. Top with parmesan cheese if you have it. I think tomatoes would be good in this or serve it with some garlic bread with marinara. This will help to balance the dish.
