The Cheap Sunday Supper

Last night I made enough salad, pasta, Italian sausage, and marinara for my sons and I to enjoy two good meals. All for the reasonable cost of about $6.60. Supper for three for two nights - about $1.10 a meal. Decent, healthy meals for just over a dollar a piece.

Get out your best stainless steel cookware and on low heat warm up a couple teaspoons of olive oil with the cut up garlic. Add in three Italian Sausage links. Cover and let them cook on low heat for 20 minutes or so. Then turn the links over. Add in a jar of Ragu. We like the one with garlic and onions! I like to cut up half a green pepper in small, diced pieces to add to the Ragu and sausage mixture. Let this simmer in your gourmet cookware for another 20 or 30 minutes.

Finally, in a big stock pot, boil some of your favorite pasta for 10 to 12 minutes.
We like to get started on the salads while the pasta is cooking.

You know the rest - drain the pasta, and add in the Sauce with the Italian Sausage. What a delicious, and inexpensive meal.
