Fancy pasta for dinner?

Of course you do.

Pasta's the go-to student meal for many reasons. These cheap, easy and (most importantly) tasty recipes are ideal, whatever the occasion.

We've put together some cheap and easy pasta recipes for you to try.

All of these dishes serve four people, and we've tried to keep the number of ingredients to a minimum. Oil, salt and pepper will be needed for each dish, but you'll probably have these in your kitchen cupboard anyway. If not, ask a housemate to use some of theirs.

We all tend to go a bit overboard with the pasta portions too, but 100g per person should do it.
