We are always looking for ways to save that $ and as we enter this year it does not look good for us with Food prices to rise fast.
This is some thing I do and it works well at the Dinner table.
Have a big pot of noodles made (500grm/1.Lb)Serve 4.
Make up three or four toppings/fillers (if you made one of these in a pot we may call it a meal).
Savory Mince, Mini meatballs and meat sauce, Buttered Prawn and Italian herb and Garlic. and Diced chicken in lemon sauce..
Serve in a bowl, plate up noodles, and one large soup ladle of topping/filler on top of noodles, garnish with chopped parsley,With the topping/fillers you only make one large serve of each, this way you have 4 serves.
You will find the family will eat plenty of the 4 plates put up and enjoy no end,Top this of with Garlic bread, crushed garlic and butter/spread mixed together, spread both sides of the bread and roll in foil and into a hot oven for 10 minutes.
Serve with meal. YUM YUM YUM.


Pasta/noodle delight on a BUDGET.

I like it!! That is a pretty good idea and it is a good way to save money. The best part is my kids love noodles and so I know that they would eat this, it is certainly one meal idea I can put in my book, thank you!!


myLot reputation of 70/100. hiccup (4410)   ranked 19 out of 50 in noodles  4 months ago

When I get my book back I will be able to write up a lot of meals like this, I have a stack of meals all priced out and these are good meals for all under $2.50 a plate. and thay are big meals at that

I'm a big fan of pasta with toppings Hiccup. Pasta always fills me up, it's great comfort food. And of course, it's fairly cheap.

Garlic bread is a great way to make a meal go further. We often have long term guests and I always serve bread with the meal to make it go further. I will have to try making it garlic bread instead for a bit of a change, perhaps with a little chees or herbs on top for variety.

Thanks for the memory jogger there!


myLot reputation of 70/100. hiccup (4410)   ranked 19 out of 50 in noodles  4 months ago

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh I knew I missed something,

The chesse and herbs, if I was in the kitchen they would be in and on it,


myLot reputation of 88/100. GreenMoo (1783)   ranked 20 out of 50 in noodles  4 months ago

I think you can add cheese and herbs to just about anything and not go wrong. A big cheese and herbs fan here!

ummm.. I love noodles. I hate garlic bread. Just noodles would be fine. I like eating the ready made ones where all you have to do is pour some water mix it and start eating.
Tomato ketchup with noodles would be great. I like sandwiches too with all those gravy vegetables. I'll eat pizzas anytime of the day. I haven't really felt the rise of prices since I pay just for my food.

You may add some rice too! Sounds like quite a feast! Nobody has to eat plain noodles since there are so many choices!
