Student, quick & cheap pasta meal

[poindextermatic]

Pasta, sweetcorn & cheese.

Ingredients:
Pasta (any type)
Small can of sweetcorn (any cheapo one will do)
Cheese (any u fancy)
Salt
Oil
Butter or marge

Step: 1) Bring pasta to the boil in pot of water with oil and salt added, this gives it some taste and stops the pasta sticking!

Step:2) When pasta is nearly cooked add sweetcorn.

Step:3) Grate some cheese - as much as you like and whatever type - remember to cut off any mold or hard areas.

Step:4) Once pasta and S/C is ready, drain off water with a sive or colander (one of those things with holes in you thought was for doing highlights in your hair) let it dry off for a few secs and then mix in a lump of butter or marge.

Step:5) Stick it on one of your house-mates plates (you ain't washed yours yet) sprinkle cheese on top and add herbs/pepper etc if you like (but not required)

And there you have it! It's great, cheap, quick and simple - ideal for students!
It kept me alive for years at uni and I still eat it now!

I can only say - bloody students.

Can normal poor people eat this, or only students?

LOL - anyone! I just thought it would be good for students as they require this type of easy meal, and yes, poor ppl may also find it handy! I know I do when I've ran out of meat and veg and payday is still a few days away!

Hey, feel free to add what u want!
... but the bacon has nearly always been scoffed by this point...and a student would just make a bacon sarnie if they had some...

Yeah... I used to know a student who ate bread with mold on....

If you can afford it, add bacon or chopped frankfurter, mmm

Yuck! That is well nasty. My mate used to make pasta, cheese and margarine until we beat it out of him. Buy a pot of pesto, please!

Pesto! WTF is that? Some junk in a jar no doubt! That's not the point anyway. Point is it's a cheapo meal for when u have no money and just some bits and bobs i.e. pasta, cheese (possibly someone elses ) and sweetcorn! The sweetcorn is required though at is a bit boring without!

Optional extra is half a tin of chopped tomatos, adding the SC (or tuna, or whatevr you fancy) to that as a sauce.

Bulks it out a little and then you get (gasp!) 3 flavours

Who, your mum?

[menthel]

Pesto is not junk! Its very tasty. Might actually go with all your other ingredients! And a little goes a long way. Mmm.

My girlfriend wont let me buy things in jars (food snob)

Since we're on the topic of pasta i would just like to say that pasta and tuna is very nice. Just make the paster and mix it in with some tuna steak (from tha tin).
