The best ever pasta for four – Less than £1 a head

By Kate Naylor on May 24th, 2012 at 8:29am in Food & Drink

I’m a great one for making recipes up from scratch, being congenitally incapable of following instructions without gilding the lily and buggering it up. Some of my creations – it has to be said – are thoroughly horrid. But last night’s DIY pasta sauce was splendid, if I say so myself, and cost less than £1 a head. Here’s my recipe:

Ingredients

  • a fistful of broccoli – 250g to 500g depending on how many of you are eating
  • 1/4 pint of full cream milk
  • 125g cheese, whatever kind you like as long as it’s grate-able
  • salt and pepper
  • one or two tins of tuna, again depending on how many of you there are
  • pasta

Making your pasta sauce

  • steam your broccoli
  • grate the cooked broccoli finely with a cheese grater
  • warm the milk and add the broccoli
  • bring it to a simmer and add your grated cheese
  • add salt and pepper
  • add your tin/s of tuna
  • mix with cooked pasta

Yum!
