I actually read his name as youngcook haha.
Making a pot of soup is always a cheap & tasty option, or bolognaise isn't too expensive. Another option is omelette, only as expensive as what you decide to put in it.
From a fellow poor student. |

Cheap and easy -
soften a chopped onion in a pot with a little oil, garlic and chilli.
Add a carton of passata 29p, and some chicken stock (Veg if a veggie) simmer for 25 mins to reduce. add seasoning and a pinch of sugar.
You can add anything to this to bulk it up, fry off a chicken breast, or chopped peppers/mushrooms/courgette etc whatever on special!
Mix it with pasta for a delicious healthy meal.
ps. If feeling extravagant, a dessert spoon of Philadelphia stirred in to sugo just before serving turns it into a lovely creamy tomato sauce.   |

Eggs mixed up like an omelette, with mushrooms, onions, cheese and thin bits of any cooked meat, put in a shallow ovenproof dish and cook until done at 200. Jobs a good un. |
