On days when I have little left in the cupoards, and little in the pocket book, frying up some bacon pieces, draining them and then adding chopped onion and garlic to sautee, then add whole milk or half and half two or three beaten eggs, red chile pepper flakes and cooked pasta makes a great, fast, filling meal that tastes fantastic. Add in some baby peas for color. Not the healthiest, but cheap, fast, easy and satisfying. Some folks call it pasta carbonara, but purists might not and call it bacon and egg pasta. A bit of nutmeg is nice too.

^ I make that kind of carbonara, too; it's delicious!

Also, just frying some garlic, chopped tomato, italian herbs in olive oil then coating pasta in it (preferably spaghetti) and adding a squeeze of lemon is pretty tasty, too.

Small penne pasta, cooked. Add chopped: fresh tomatoes, sweet peppers, sweet onions, fresh garlic, olives, zucchini, cucumbers. Mix in Italian salad dressing to taste. Serve with balls of mozzarella cheese. One of my favorite summer salad suppers!
