Five Minutes And Your Done!

(Sorry about the steam)

This will probably be my most simple meal i ever post. All you need is 3 ingredients, 5 minutes of your time and you have a plate full that will keep you full all night.


The meal as you can see pasta with a tomato sauce and sausage balls. Now that may sound expensive but, the pasta, for a bag is 55p and the sausage are just your average ones at 86p. Then all you need is a tin of chopped tomatoes and they are usually no more than 50p a can.
So all together your getting a meal for £1.91 and you will be able to use the pasta 3-4 or 5 times depending on your portion size.The sausages you will only use 3 and they come in pack of eight.

To start off you have to boil some water in a saucepan and this is for your pasta. While you wait for that to boil cut the sausages in tiny pieces and get a frying pan ready with oil heated.

Using any kitchen knife cut the sausage horizontally from one end to the other. Once you have done that you'll have tiny pieces. Roll them in between your hands and make them into balls. Now they might feel slightly weird but just wash your hands after and you'll be fine.


Then when the water is boiled and frying pan for your sausage balls is heated put the pasta into the saucepan and slide the balls into the pan. After 5 minutes of cooking when the sausages are brown and the pasta if soft your almost there.
Drain your pasta over the sink and then put it back into the saucepans on a really low heat. I mean low, u don't want your pasta sticking to the saucepan. Next add your sausages and if any of the fat goes in don't worry it all adds to the flavor. Now pour in your chopped tined tomatoes and stir for a minute or so. Then when it is piping hot, serve it up.

You have got a pasta dish that is quick, easy and cheap what more could you ask for.
