Instead of my traditional ground pork I went with ground turkey at half the price. There is literally a 2:1 turkey:pasta ratio. The sauce is a heavily seasoned can of crushed tomatoes. Garlic knots have been hiding in the freezer forever and were free back when I got them.
Cost per person: $2.25


Looks really comforting, and I love that it’s relatively inexpensive but still seems luxurious.
It’s amazing how inexpensively one can make a really good meal. One of the reasons I always include the price per person in my posts is to encourage people to cook more and spend less. This is a $14 minimum at any restaurant and it’s not going to have nearly as much meat.
