If you can still get it, frozen self rising pizza costs less than $3 for about a kilogram of food. As I live alone I would buy a pizza like this and chop it into pieces before cooking it so it is fresh every serving. I add a few chunks of butter to the bottom above foil. Similar taste to pizza hut for a fraction of the cost.

Speghetti is also good when cooked with butter. Instead of adding the usual tablespoon of olive oil to the boiling water try butter instead.

My immigrant ancestors lived on a diet of spaghetti, home made bread and pork preserved in lard. I haven't tried the lard trick but maybe might be useful.

Cacio e Pepe is another easy enough recipe that one can make without needing an excess of ingredients, it’s in the name :)


Looks good. Gnocci with butter is also delish. Can be made from mashed potato flakes and flour. Or fresh potatos. Manufactured food is so cheap you can get a pound of it for a couple bucks already made.

Very nice. I have found my spaghetti making skills have been very primitive for some time. I'm always on the look out now for how to make it better since the staple is so cheap and easy to store. I've owned spaghetti still sealed in a plastic envelope that was good over 9 years later. I ate all of it. The only thing is it needs a little more time to cook.
