Yeah...simple pasta meals with meat in them are super cheap and easy to make. Even just pasta with butter, Parmesan, with some garlic, salt, and pepper is super cheap and easy. Add a little chicken to spice it up and serve with salad. For like 1/2 lb of pasta (half of one of those $1 boxes) it's only like 1-2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of Parmesan (we buy the 10 lb bag from Costco and keep it in the freezer...it lasts us a LONG time even though we use it a lot), and 1 chicken breast cooked with olive oil and garlic. It's so simple and we love it. I always guess on the proportions, so don't quote me on them. Too much butter makes it too greasy though.
