Here is a simple, quick and cheap meat free meal which I hope you will enjoy.
INGREDIENTS and approximate cost
250g pasta quills 500g bag 29p
1 400g tin tomatoes approx 30p
(or 8-10 homegrown or fresh toms)
1 large onion approx 10p
generous dollop tomato ketchup approx 2p
2 veg stock cubes approx 8p
1 teaspoon italian herbs approx 10p
grated cheese to garnish approx 5p
serves 2 -3
METHOD
Put the pasta into a large pan, cover with boiling water and the lid and leave to stand for a few minutes before putting on to the heat (helps reduce cooking time to about 15 minutes).
Chop the onion and put into another pan with the tinned tomatoes, including juice. (If using fresh tomatoes instead, chop and add a tablespoon of hot water to the mix).
Put on a gentle heat and bring to the boil, adding the stock cubes, herbs and ketchup, stirring continuously.
By the time the pasta is cooked, your tomato mix should be bubbling and also ready (onions soft)
Drain pasta, put into bowls. Spoon tomato mix over and add grated cheese to finish.
Serve and enjoy.

In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too.
On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
