Effort: 1/5 (super quick!)
Time to prep: 5 minutes
Time to cook: 10-20 minutes
Serves: 3 (2 hot dogs each)

Total cost: £2.30 = 76p per serving
Total cost (including optional): £3.30 = £1.10 per serving

Outline
These easy 2-step hot dogs are a delicious dinner when you're really short on time! I like to throw in some oven chips while the sausages cook to bulk out the meal even more. It can be paired with an easy out of the bag salad, or a cup of mixed vegetables for your dose of vitamins/nutrients!

You can cook your sausages on the hob or in the oven. They usually cook quicker in an oven, but you can add butter/fresh thyme/rosemary to the pan for a more gourmet taste.

Also, cook up 2 packets of sausages and keep them in the fridge for an easy lunch on the go/low effort dinner!

Ingredients:
6 vegetarian sausages (or hot dogs if you eat meat) - £1.5
6 hot dog buns - 80p
Ketchup/mayo/sauces of your choice

(Optional)
Handfuls of out of the bag salad - 20p
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables - 10p
Easy cook oven chips - 60p
1 medium white onion, chopped and caramelised - 10p

Directions
1)    Cook the sausages following the instructions on the packet.
2)    (Optional) Put the easy cook oven chips onto a tray and cook following the instructions on the packet (usually 200oc for 15-20 minutes). Remember to shake half way through.
3)    Cut the hot dog buns in half. When the sausages are cooked, put them in the buns and top with sauces of your choice.

Plate up and enjoy with friends!

4)     (Optional) Peel and chop the onion into long slices. Heat a frying pan on medium/high heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Add onions to the pan and cook until translucent (5 minutes). Add these to your hot dog for a more authentic hot dog van taste!
5)    (Optional) Serve with a handful of fresh from the bag salad and a dressing of your choice (as always, my go to is salt, pepper and lemon juice!).
5)    (Optional) Put 1 cup of frozen mixed veg into a microwavable bowl/mug. Top with cold water until the vegetables are covered. Cook in microwave in 3 min intervals for 10 minutes. Make sure to open the microwave in between to make sure the water hasn't boiled over.

Effort: 2/5 (some prep, but not too much)
Time to prep: 10-15 mins
Time to cook: 20-30 mins.
Serves: 2-4

Total cost: £4.15 = £1.03 per serving

Outline:
What better way to warm yourself up than with some delicious and super easy tacos! Instead of spending more money on taco bell and waiting an hour or two for delivery, whip up these easy to make homemade blackbean tacos!

These are a delicious dinner best eaten fresh to keep that crispy crunch. For more bulk, serve with homemade chips, salad and salsas/guacamole of your choosing!

Ingredients:
1/2 medium white onion - 20p
4 cloves garlic, minced or grated - 15p
2x 400g cans of black beans, rinsed and drained - £1.40
1/2 cup vegetable broth - 40p
8-10 corn tortillas - 80p
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp dry oregano
1/2 tsp dry thyme
2 chipotle peppers - 60p
Salt and pepper to taste
Lime wedges to serve - 50p

Directions:
1)    Preheat oven to 220oc. Drizzle 2 tbsp of oil and evenly coat large baking tray.
2)    Heat up medium sized pan and add 1 tbsp of oil. Add onions and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant.
3)    Add seasonings and stir to combine. Add in black beans and chipotle peppers, and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
4)    Pour in veggie broth and lightly mash beans using the back of your cooking spoon until mixture starts to bind together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
5)    Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-30 seconds to steam them. Place each taco on the oiled baking sheet, flipping to coat both sides. Spread 2-3 table spoons (tbsp) of the mashed black beans over half a tortilla, fold it over and flip the taco.
6)     Arrange tacos on a baking sheet with space between them, and place another clean baking tray on top. Place in oven to cook for 8 mins, then flip tacos and cook for a further 8-10 mins, or until the tacos are crispy and golden.
7)     Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes. Serve with extra lime and salsa of your choice!

Effort: 2/5 (some chopping but mostly quick)
Time to prep: 15-20 minutes
Time to cook: 30-40 minutes
Serves: 4

Total cost: £2.90 = 72.5p per serving
Total cost (including optional): £3.75 = 93.75p per serving

Outline:
Who doesn't love a classic plate of spaghetti and meatballs? Coated in a delicious tomato sauce, enjoy this hearty italian dinner that takes less than an hour to prepare and cook! It's a good medium effort dish for when you have a bit more energy to make something, but still don't want to do lots of chopping/washing up!

To make it even easier you can use a jar of tomato sauce - this will cut the overall cooking time to just half an hour! For an optional added bonus, cook up some garlic bread to enjoy alongside your main. As always, if you eat meat, you can swap out the veggie option for some meatier ones (it may be a bit more expensive).

Ingredients:
400g dried spaghetti - 30p
1 pack of 12 vegetarian IKEA-style meatballs - £1.5
1 can chopped tomatoes - 30p
1 large onion - 15p
3-5 cloves of garlic - 10p
1 bell pepper (any colour), de-seeded and chopped - 30p
2 carrots, peeled and diced - 10p
500ml vegetable stock (stock cube and hot water) - 15p
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp dried mixed herbs
1 splash Worcester sauce

(Optional)
2x garlic bread baguettes = 60p
Handful of fresh parsley to top - 10p
Handful of grated mature cheddar/parmesan - 15p

Directions
1)     Peel and chop all vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, onions and garlic).
2)     Put 1 tbsp of olive oil into a frying pan and cook the veggie meatballs according to the instructions on the packet (usually 10 mins on medium).
3)     When meatballs are half-way done, put them to one side and add the onions. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and fry for a few minutes, before adding the chopped garlic cloves. Cook for an extra few minutes.
4)    Add the chopped carrots and bell peppers to the frying pan and fry all together for 3-5 minutes. Add the can of chopped tomatoes and mix to combine. Add mixed herbs, Worcester sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5-10 minutes on medium, stirring occasionally.
5)    Boil the kettle and add the spaghetti to a saucepan. Add the boiling water and cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet.
6)    When the spaghetti is cooked, plate generous portions and then top with the meatballs and tomato sauce. (I like to mix the spaghetti in with the sauce) Enjoy with friends, or plate the leftovers into re-heatable containers to save for another day!

Optional:
Cook the garlic bread according to the instructions on the packet and serve with your spaghetti and meatballs. Top with fresh parsley and a handful of cheddar/parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!

- If you have lots of housemates and a limited budget, read this article on 'Cheap Christmas present ideas for your uni flatmates’ including tips for festive bakes, stocking-sized gifts and group outings instead of present buying.

- Christmas doesn't always have to break the bank – get inspired by reading this article on 'How to do Christmas on a budget'. Think eco-friendly gift-wrap and £2.50 per person for a Christmas dinner.

- Everyone appreciates and values homemade gifts. Here are '10 easy homemade Christmas gift ideas' featuring a DIY cocktail kit, snow globes, hot chocolate sticks, and more.

- Set realistic expectations. Why not draw names for a gift exchange where you get one person a gift at a set budget or commit to a kids-only gift exchange with your family and friends.

- Remember not everyone expects a gift and it's the thought that counts. You may want to explore the idea of not exchanging gifts – to save money, avoid waste or focus on spending time with loved ones. You could start a new tradition or go on an outing instead, like browsing Christmas markets to get into the holiday spirit - especially if you bring a travel mug of homemade hot chocolate.

Effort: 4.5/5 (a lot of effort, but easier done with friends!)
Time to prep: 30-50 minutes
Time to cook: 1-2 hours
Serves: 4-6 people

Total cost: £4.95 = 82.5p/serving
Total cost (including optional): £8.12 = £1.35/serving

Outline:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here is a a step-by-step recipe for how to make a banging roast dinner! (Disclaimer: this is the English version!) There are a LOT of veggies on here, but they can easily be swapped out for ones you like. Also, if you're feeling lazy or need to save time, don't be afraid to use frozen veggies!

If you eat meat, you can buy a pre-cooked chicken from ASDA/Sainsburys for £4/5, or buy a raw chicken for £2.80ish and cook it according to the instructions. Make sure you season it well, and double check that it's cooked through!

This is my standard way to cook a roast, usually when I have plenty of time/energy! You won't regret all that effort, and you can always make someone else do the washing up! I'll be sharing a lower-effort version for Christmas soon.

Share your roast dinner tips and tricks below!

Ingredients:
Vegan quorn roast - £2.50
4-6 potatoes, peeled and chopped - 30p
3-5 carrots, peeled and chopped thinly - 15p
1 stem of broccoli - 60p
3-5 parsnips, peeled and chopped thinly - 25p
2-4 cloves of garlic, peeled (left whole) - 10p
1 onion, peeled and chopped - 10p
3-5 tbsp vegetable oil
250g frozen peas and sweetcorn - 40p
Gravy granules
12 Yorkshire puddings - 80p
Mixed herbs seasoning
Thyme/oregano/parsley (make it fresh for extra bougie points)
Salt and pepper to taste

(Optional)
1 easy to make packet of stuffing - 80p
Half a cabbage, shredded - 25p
Cauliflower Cheese
1 stem of cauliflower - 50p
200g mature cheddar cheese, grated - £1
300ml semi-skimmed milk - 60p
1-2 tbsp cornstarch - 2p
Sprinkle of paprika

Directions
1)    Wash, peel and chop all vegetables.
2)    To make the roast potatoes, peel and roughly chop the potatoes. Boil water and add it to a big saucepan. Part-cook the potatoes in the boiling water for roughly 10-20 minutes on medium/high heat.
3)     Preheat the oven to the time specified on the roast packet. Pour a few tablespoons of oil onto a baking tray, and season with salt, pepper and mixed herbs. Put the tray into the oven.
4)     Strain the water off of the potatoes, and allow the potatoes to cool for 10-20 minutes. After they've cooled, put the lid on and shake the pan to "ruffle" the potatoes (this helps get a soft centre and crispy outside!)
5)     Take the tray of oil out of the oven (careful, it will be hot!) and pour the potatoes onto it. They should sizzle as they land. Season with mixed herbs, salt and pepper, and stir them around with a wooden spoon to coat the outside in oil. Put them back in the oven for around 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6)     If the roast will take a long time (40+mins), put the roast in a bit before you start to cook the vegetables.
7)    On another tray, put the chopped carrots, onion and parsnips, and drizzle oil over the top. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano and parsley. Add the cloves of garlic, and stir to coat all vegetables in oil. Put this tray into the oven for around 30minutes-1 hour, or until the vegetables are fragrant and well roasted (not burnt).
---
Optional: Stuffing! Cook according to the packet and add to the oven with the roast potatoes, roast and vegetables.
---
8)    Boil the kettle and pour the hot water into a big saucepan (you can use the same pan as you used for the potatoes). Chop the broccoli stem into the sized pieces of broccoli that you want, then add to the water and season with salt/pepper. Cook on medium heat for 15-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
---
Optional: Cauliflower cheese!
1) Cook the cauliflower in boiling water for 10-20 minutes with the broccoli.
2) In another saucepan, add the milk and make a paste with cornstarch and water. Add the paste to the milk, and cook on low heat until the milk starts to thicken. When it's the consistency that you want, add the grated cheese a handful at a time. Taste the sauce to get it to the right level of cheesyness for you! Add a sprinkle of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
3) Strain and separate the cauliflower, and put it into an oven-proof dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the top, and sprinkle grated cheese over the top. Put it in the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese ontop has turned golden/brown.
---
9)    Add the frozen peas/sweetcorn to a saucepan with boiling water, and cook for 10-15 minutes.
(TIP: you can also put them in a bowl and cook them in the microwave for 2-4 minutes! Just make sure you check it every 30 seconds to stop the water spilling over)
10)    Put the yorkshire puddings on a tray and cook according to the instructions on the packet. Take the roast, roast potatoes and cooked vegetables out of the oven when they're cooked.
11)    Make a jug full of gravy following the instructions on the gravy granule packet.
12) Take everything out of the oven, plate up, absolutely smother it with thick gravy and enjoy with friends!

Effort: 1/5 (super quick, easy and cheap!)
Time to prep: 2 minutes
Time to cook: 5 minutes
Serves: 3 (2 pizzas each)

Total cost: £2.50 = 83p for 6 pizzas
Total cost (including optional): £3.20 = £1.06 for 6 pizzas

Overview
These pitta bread pizzas are super quick, easy and delicious! You can be creative with your toppings to make a delicious and healthy pizza; add chopped peppers, jalapenos, olives, chicken/veggie meats, tofu, or even pineapple if you're into that!

They can be cooked in advance and put in the fridge to take to University, or are perfect for a weekend lunch with friends! These are one of my favourite go-to easy and cheap lunches, and can easily be made into a dinner by adding some cooked chips and roasted vegetables on the side.

Ingredients
1 pack of 6 pitta breads (white or wholegrain) - 80p
Tomato pizza sauce (I recommend Lloyd Grossman tomato and basil sauce, you can get it on sale for £1.50 #notsponsored) - £1
100g grated cheddar cheese - 40p
Mozarella cheese ball, cut into slices - 30p
Salt and pepper to taste

(Optional)
Cucumber, sliced - 50p
Handful of salad - 20p
Salad dressing of your choice (my favourite - salt, pepper and lemon juice!)

Directions
1)    Cover each pitta bread in a few tablespoons of tomato sauce. Spread the sauce over the pitta bread, but leave room for a crust at the edge.
2)    Cover the pizza in a handful of grated cheddar cheese and chop a ball of mozarella to add on top. Add any other toppings of your choice, and season with salt and pepper.
TIP: It's cheaper to buy a block of cheese and grate it yourself than it is to buy ready grated cheese.
3)    Put 3 pitta breads on a grill tray and put them under the grill on medium/high heat. Cook until the cheese starts to bubble and the edges turn a golden colour (usually around 2-5 minutes).
4)    Put the cooked pitta bread pizzas to one side, and cook the remaining pitta bread pizzas.
5)    Serve with cucumber and salad for a dose of nutrients. Plate up, cut into quaters and enjoy!

Effort: 1/5 (super quick and easy, but a bit more costly)
Time to prep: 10 minutes
Time to cook: 15 minutes
Serves: 2

Total cost: £3.70 = £1.85 per serving
Total cost (including optional): £5.30 = £2.65 per serving

Overview
This is a really tasty Japanese-inspired udon noodle dish packed full of delicious vegetables and flavour. It might be a bit more pricey than some other recipes at £1.85 per serving, but this meal more than makes up for it in taste. To cut costs, buy uncooked noodles and cook them yourself, buy 'wonky vegetables' that don't look perfect, or buy vegetables that are in season (for autumn: spinach, kale and carrots can make a good substitution).

Feel free to add any extra veggies, add slices of flavoured pork/chicken if you eat meat, and get creative with what to have in your noodles! For an extra bit of protein, fry an egg sunny side up and place it on top of the noodles with some chopped nuts to garnish.

Ingredients
1½ tbsp sesame oil - £1.80 for a large bottle
1 red onion, cut into thin wedges - 20p
160g mangetout - 80p
70g baby corn, halved - 50p
3 spring onions, sliced - 20p
1-2 large garlic cloves, crushed - 5p
½ tbsp mild curry powder, or use 1 tsp garam masala
4 tsp low-salt soy sauce
300g ready-to-cook udon noodles - £1.50
1 tbsp pickled sushi ginger, chopped, plus 2 tbsp of the brine, optional

(Optional)
2 baby pak choi, quatered - £1.50
Handful of chopped plain cashew/peanuts to garnish - 10p

Directions
1)     Heat the oil in a frying pan on high heat. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes.
2)     Stir in the baby corn, mangetout, pak choi and spring onions and fry for 5 more minutes.
3)     Add garlic, curry powder, soy sauce and cook for another minute.
4)     Add the udon noodles, ginger and brine with a few tbsp of water, and cook until the noodles are heated through.
5)     Serve between two bowls, and top with a handful of chopped nuts and diced spring onion to garnish.

Effort: 2/5 (very easy to cook, just requires some chopping)
Time to prep: 10 minutes
Time to cook: 10-20 minutes
Serves: 4

Total cost: £2.05 = 51.25p per serving
Total cost (including optional): $4.35 = £1.08 per serving

Overview
This is a super easy prep that you can have for breakfast, lunch or dinner! It's very easy to make for vegan/gluten free/lactose intolerant people, as you simply swap out the wraps/cheese for a friendlier version. Just allow to cool and wrap it in tin foil/put in a reusable container to take wherever you need to go.

You can add more seasonings to adjust the spice levels to your tolerance, or add jalapenos for an extra kick! This is a very basic recipe and can be modified in lots of ways, including adding in mince (meat or vegetarian) to add extra protein, or adding a bell pepper for some extra veggies.

Ingredients
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion, finely chopped - 10p
3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped - 5p
1 tsp cumin seeds
400g can pinto or kidney beans, rinsed and drained - 50p
2 tbsp smoked paprika
8 flour tortillas - 90p
100g cheddar or gruyère, coarsely grated - 50p
Salt and pepper to season

(Optional)
handful coriander leaves - 30p
200g tub fresh tomato salsa, plus extra to serve - £1
soured cream, to serve - £1

Directions
1)     Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add cumin and cook for 1 minute.
2)     Add drained can of beans, paprika and a splash of water. Mash the beans with a potato masher while they cook through to make a puree.
3)    Spread the beans onto 4 tortillas and scatter over the cheese ontop. Add coriander if you want to put in extra effort, and spoon salsa on top. Cover the 4 halves with the other 4 tortillas to make a quesadilla. Wipe the pan with kitchen towel and return to the heat.
4)    Cook each quesadilla on each side for 1-2 minutes, or until each side is crisp/gold and the cheese has melted.
5) Serve warm with a dip of salsa/sour cream and cut into 4 wedges. Enjoy with friends!

Effort: 1/5 (SUPER easy)
Time to prep: 5 minutes
Serves: 1, but you can bake more potatoes and leave in the fridge for another day

Total cost: 50p = 50p per serving
Total cost (including optional): 76p/76p per serving

Overview
This is a super quick and easy, protein-high lunch that I really enjoy! It's really low effort and makes hardly any washing up, which is always a bonus. You can cook the jacket potato in the oven, however it takes a lot longer (40mins-1 hour), so I prefer to cook them in the microwave and crisp them in the oven as desired.
Serve with a salad side of your choosing for an extra boost of nutrients!

Ingredients
1 large potato - 20p
1 can of baked beans - 30p
2 tablespoons of butter - 1 tub = 80p
Salt and pepper to taste

(Optional)
1 handful of salad - 10p
1 handful of grated cheese - 5p
Parsley to top
5 splashes of lemon juice - 1p
Slices of cucumber - 10p

Directions
1)     Wash the potato, removing any knobs or bruises. If you'd like a crispy jacket, preheat the oven to gas mark 7 (200oc)
2)     Stab the potato with a fork and score around the outside with a sharp knife.
3)     Put the potato on a microwave-safe plate and put in the microwave (normal setting) for 5 minutes. Check the potato halfway through, turning over if needed.
4)     If you'd like it crispy, put it in the oven for approx. 10-20 minutes.
5)     Cut the potato in half and mash butter inside the jacket with a fork. Add more butter if you like a creamier texture.
5)     Open the can of beans with a can opener and pour ontop of the jacket. You can also put the beans in a bowl and microwave them separately, however I'm lazy and don't like washing up.
6)    Put it back in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until the beans are hot.
7) Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a handful of grated cheese on top, and sprinkle some parsley for added decoration. I like to enjoy mine with a handful of washed salad seasoned with lemon juice, salt and pepper, and some cucumber slices.

Effort: 3/5

Time to prep: 15-20 minutes
Time to cook: 45min-1.5 hours

Total cost (including optional): £5.49 = £1.06/£1.59 per serving

Overview
Now that the days are getting darker and the weather is getting colder, enjoy a hearty and warming dinner that is easy to cook and only takes 1 big saucepan!

Vegetable stew and dumplings is my favourite home recipe for those dreary days and drizzly nights. It would be amazing to see your family recipes that make autumn nights that much homelier - please feel free to share them!

Ingredients and Cost

5x large potatoes – 50p

2x cans chopped tomatoes – 60p

1x large onion (red or white) – 15p

6-8x cloves of garlic – 25p

3x large carrots – 15p

1x bell pepper – 35p

500g frozen mixed veg (peas, sweetcorn – 50p

2x vegetable stock cubes – 15p

6 splashes of Worcester sauce – (90p per jar)

8-10 heaped tablespoons of mixed herbs – (85p per jar)

5 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Salt/pepper to taste

Dumplings

225g self-raising flour – 15p

115g butter – 30p

45ml water

(Optional)

Fresh bread – 90p

Fresh parsley to top – 15p

3 tablespoons of paprika

1 tablespoon of cumin

·       For meat eaters, add a 500g packet of pork/turkey mince - £2.39

Directions

1)     Peel and chop the onions and garlic. Peel and chop the carrots. De-seed and chop the bell pepper. Wash the potatoes, and peel if you don’t like the skins (the skins have extra nutrients!)

2)     Add oil to a large, (for dumplings: oven-safe) saucepan and turn heat onto high. Add onions and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic and fry for another 1-2 minutes – it should smell really good!

Optional: If you’re adding meat, fry off the mince with the onions. Strain excess fat into a nearby mug if there’s too much.

3)     Turn heat to medium. Add chopped carrots and bell pepper and cook for a few minutes.

4)     Open 2x cans of chopped tomatoes and add to the pan. Add a pinch of sugar to reduce acidity of tomatoes.

5)     Add frozen mixed vegetables, Worcester sauce and mixed herb seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5-10 minutes on  low heat.

6)     Add chopped potatoes. Ensure potatoes are fully covered by liquid, adding boiling water if necessary.

7)     Add 200ml of boiling water to the vegetable stock cubes and mix to make vegetable stock. To save on washing up, do this in the empty tomato can, then rinse it out and recycle. Add vegetable stock to the saucepan.

8)     Put lid on the pan and cook on low for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasional. Using a clean spoon, taste a small amount and add more seasonings as desired/necessary.

9)     FOR THE DUMPLINGS: Pre-heat the oven to around 180 degrees Celsius/gas mark 6/7. Weigh out the flour and butter, and combine into bread crumbs in the bowl. Add water a tablespoon at a time and mix to combine into a dough.

10)  Roll the dough into balls (should fit in your palm) and place on top of the stew. Put the lid on and put the saucepan into the preheated oven. Cook for 15-20 minutes (if you want crispy tops of the dumplings, take the lid off after 10 minutes).

11) Serve generous portions on a plate/in a bowl, with 1-2 dumplings each. Put any leftovers into reusable, freezer-safe containers to have another day. (Fridge – 4/5 days, freezer – 3-5 months).
Enjoy with a thick slice of fresh bread!

Super quick feta and tomato pasta (TikTok)

# data[].attributes.subject
Super quick feta and tomato pasta (TikTok)

# data[].attributes.body
Effort: 1/5 (VERY low effort)
Time to prep: 5-10 minutes
Time to cook: 20-30 minutes
Serves: 2-4 people

Total cost: £2.35 = 58.75p per serving

Total cost (including optional): £3.05 = 76p per serving

Overview
This is a very simple dish that can easily be adapted to create many kinds of meals and to suit all types of dietary requirements. Change the seasoning, pasta type, add spinach/bell peppers/cooked carrot for an extra hit of vegetables, or even add cooked chicken for more protein if you eat meat/fake chicken for the non-meat eaters.

It’s super quick, easy to prep, and makes for a tasty super low-effort meal (I really enjoy it with garlic bread and salad!).

Ingredients / Cost

1x block of feta cheese – £1

·       For vegans/lactose intolerant people, try this with a vegan feta cheese

1x packet of cherry tomatoes – 60p

400g dry pasta (any kind, I usually use fusilli) – 50p

·       For gluten intolerant people, use gluten free pasta

5x garlic cloves – 35p/head, around 10/15p for 5 cloves

5 heaped tablespoons of mixed herb seasoning (85p per jar)

Drizzle of oil (olive or sunflower)

Salt & pepper to taste

(Optional)
1 garlic bread baguette – 30p

Small handful of grated cheddar/vegan cheese to top – 10p

Fresh parsley to decorate – 20p

Handful of fresh salad with a dressing of your choice – 10p

Directions

1)     Cook the pasta following the directions on the packet. Preheat the oven to gas mark 7, or approx. 200 degrees Celsius.

2)     While the pasta is cooking, peel 5x garlic cloves and pierce cherry tomatoes with a sharp knife.

3)     Put the block of feta in the middle of an oven-safe deep tray. Add garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle oil over the whole tray and add the mixed herb seasoning. Add salt and pepper.

4)     Put the tray into the oven and set a timer for 15 minutes. Check on the food when the timer goes off – it will likely need longer, but make sure that the tomatoes/garlic aren’t burning.

(Optional) If you are enjoying this with garlic bread, cook the garlic bread according to the instructions on the packet.

5)     Put back into the oven for an additional 5-15 minutes, depending on how well cooked everything is. You should be able to smell the herbs/garlic, and the tomatoes will look shrivelled and slightly brown (but not black/burnt!)

6)     Using a fork, mash the tomatoes, cheese and garlic cloves together.

7)     Strain the pasta. Add the pasta to the dish and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.

(Optional) Add a handful of cheddar cheese ontop and fresh parsley to decorate. Serve with a handful of washed salad and a salad dressing of your choice.
TIP: For a super low-budget and tasty dressing, I use
lemon juice, salt and pepper. Give it a try!

8)     Serve generous portions and enjoy with friends!

Effort: 3/5 (medium effort - some chopping required)

Time to prep: 10-15 minutes
Time to cook: 30-40 minutes
Serves: 2 people

Total cost: £2.50 = £1.25 per serving
Total cost (including optional): £3.10 = £1.55 per serving

Overview
If you'd like a delicious, healthy and easy dinner, look no further than tortellini!

If you don't have time to make the sauce, you can cook up tortellini in 3-5 minutes and serve with a drizzle of olive oil, salt/pepper to taste and a handful of grated cheese for a super low-effort (but still somewhat nutritional) dish.

MONEY SAVING TIP: I like to buy tortellini when it's on offer (e.g. 2 for £2, or down to £1.20) and stock up on a few different types to keep in the freezer.

Otherwise, this is a super simple way to impress someone with your homemade sauce!

Ingredients / Cost

1x packet of filled tortellini (can be any kind, I like to use spinach and ricotta) - £1.60

1x can chopped tomatoes – 30p

1x large onion (red or white) – 15p

3-5 cloves of garlic – 15p

200g frozen mixed vegetables (or as much as looks good to you) – 25p

1x vegetable stock cube – 5p

5 heaped tablespoons of mixed herb seasoning (85p per jar)

3 tablespoons of Worcester sauce (90p per jar)

3 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

(Optional)

1x baguette garlic bread – 30p

1 handful of grated cheddar cheese to top – 10p

Fresh/dried parsley to top – 10p

1-2 tablespoons of paprika

1 pinch of sugar (less than a quarter of a teaspoon)

1 handful of washed spinach – 10p

1-2 bay leaves

Directions

1)     Peel and chop the garlic and onion.

2)     Add oil to a saucepan and turn the hob onto high. Add the onions to the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic and fry for another 1-2 minutes. Turn heat to medium when done.

3)     Open the canned tomatoes and add to the saucepan. Add a pinch of sugar to reduce the acidic taste of the tomatoes. Add the mixed herb seasoning and Worcester sauce. Add salt and pepper to your taste.
If you’d like a warming flavour, add 1-2 tablespoons of paprika. A bay leaf or two can enhance the flavour, so add that here if you have some!

4)     Add the frozen mixed vegetables and stir. Add washed spinach for an extra dose of vegetables!

5)     Add 100ml of boiling water to the vegetable stock cube and mix to make vegetable stock. To save on washing up, do this in the empty tomato can, then rinse it out and recycle.

6)     Add the vegetable stock to the mixture and bring to the boil. There should be lots of bubbles!
If you’re enjoying it with garlic bread, put it in the oven now to allow time to cook – and cook according to the instructions on the packet.

7)     Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Continue stirring occasionally. Taste using a clean spoon and add more seasoning/salt/pepper if needed.

8)     Add the tortellini to the sauce and cook through for 2-5 minutes, or until everything is warm enough to eat.

9)     Plate up and enjoy!
To make it extra fancy, top with grated cheese, salt/pepper and fresh parsley. Enjoy with garlic bread!

Black in FELS Network Launch - Wednesday 12th October!

# data[].attributes.body
This week marks the launch of the Black in FELS student network! This network is created by black/black-mixed students for black/black-mixed students, to give you the opportunity to meet people across all levels of study within the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences (FELS).

Weds 12 th October, 1pm-2.45pm, Building 100 / 4013

It's a great way to meet students of all types (undergraduate, masters, PhD and beyond) and to get to know researchers/faculty members. This will be useful for anyone looking for some inspiration for their career path, to gain contacts for future projects/further study, or for anyone who wants to learn more about research beyond our home school of Psychology!

The event will run on Wednesday 12 th October, 1pm-2.45pm (100/4013). Come along and hear about the network, and share your views on what future events you would like to see! It will be a great opportunity to meet other Black students across different year groups, and they are particularly keen to welcome those of you who are just starting out at Southampton.

If you'd like to attend, please email Ailish Craig (ailish.craig@soton.ac.uk) to let him know your interest, and be there at the above date/time!
