Most people probably already have a recipe for marinara, but I really like the one I have and thought I would share it. It’s a little more expensive because it gets its flavor from a great assortment of veggies but that also makes it a one pot kind of meal. So that ups the easiness factor for me. Read more

This easy side dish is sort of the opposite twin of my previous side dish featuring carrots. Instead of tending a pan of carrots stove-top, this is something to throw in the oven when you need to baby-sit your main dish or other sides. Hope you like this one too! Read more

Super easy and super yummy. I am not really a fan of regular basil pesto (don’t hate it, just don’t love it.) I double the recipe and keep some in the fridge. Great with scrambled eggs as well, but truly for pasta lovers. I don’t usually use the green can of parmesan, but I also don’t always spring for the real stuff either. Look around and see what kind of compromising you are willing to do between taste and price. Read more

This is more on the side of easy than cheap, but easy, totally delicious and kinda cheap is still a great option in my humble opinion. I’ve made this with both goat cheese and gorgonzola and if you’ve never tried goat cheese you might want to give it a shot. But if you’re a blue cheese fan and you know it go for the gorgonzola.

I wish I could make this harder for you, but it’s not going to happen. My apologies. I make this whenever I have leftover spaghetti or some kind of thin stringed pasta. You know that horrible stuff that sticks together in the fridge when you try to save it. It’s a humble kind of dish, but comforting and tasty. Read more
