Cook Pasta at Home

Posted in Food by daryl on the October 2nd, 2007
If you order a spaghetti bolognese dish at a restaurant, you’re looking at spending a
minimum of $13. For less than that, you can cook a meal for 4 at home and chances are it’ll be just as delicious. All you need are a few cheap ingredients. A pound of pasta runs about $1.50, parmesan cheese is about $3, a pound of ground beef is about $4 and a jar of sauce is about $4. This will easily feed 4 people and will probably give you some tasty leftovers the next day.
