Have you got pasta? Pasta is one of the least expensive items in the grocery store, with multiple choices. You can choose from macaroni, egg noodles, tri-colored spirals, spaghetti, and more.

And the recipes are endless. You can simply cook it and serve with your favorite sauce. Spaghetti Alfredo can be served plain, or with meats and vegetables. The number of ways to use pasta is almost endless.

You can also use it to make any number of awesome, delicious salads. Many casseroles also call for pasta – from a simple Chicken and Rice to a more detailed Lasagna.

Pasta is also simple to make yourself, calling for just flour, eggs oil, and salt. This can then be rolled out on a floured board, cut into strips, and hung to dry (or cooked right away, if you prefer!)
