Student pasta recipes

We're sure that not ALL students eat a diet comprised solely of pasta, but if you find yourself short of ideas for your favourite carb, we've got you covered.

Tomato, squash and chilli pasta with crunchy breadcrumbs

by Elly Curshen

This quick pasta dish pairs roasted butternut squash (prepared earlier in the week as part of the meal plan) with cherry tomatoes and chillies.

This recipe is part of a budget student meal plan for one. It is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard .
