One of the dilemmas I often face is that although I love to eat nice warm meals, I am a terrible cook. Coming to college was a wake up call that I should learn how to make a dish or two because my mom was no longer here to do it for me. One of the best things I have found so far is an easy loaded pasta dish. The best part is how cheap it is–after all, I am a broke college student. The first time I made this was somewhat an experiment to see if I could make something out of the random groceries I had in my fridge that wasn’t completely gross. Honestly, it turned out to be pretty great and now I make it intentionally. Check out my recipe below! Most of the things you need are honestly probably already in your fridge:
Ingredients:
-Egg Noodles
-Random Veggies (I usually use onions, peppers, and mushrooms)
-Alfredo Sauce
-Garlic Powder
-Onion Powder
-Salt
-Pepper
Directions:
-
Begin boiling your egg noodles in a pot with water and salt.
-
Put all of your veggies together in a pan with a little olive oil.
-
After all of your veggies are well cooked, mix in your alfredo sauce with a little garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and salt for extra flavor.
-
After that, make sure your egg noodles are done and strain them.
-
Mix the sauce and noodles together and enjoy!
This five step meal is literally a life saver and so easy and cheap but definitely doesn’t taste like it.
