Tip #6: Don't spend on unnecessary items

Sometimes when you are cooking, you’ll realize the dish isn’t complete without that special something. So you head out to the nearest grocery store to buy just what you need to complete it.

Have you already forgotten my previous tip about using the ingredients you have? I’m so hurt! Before you spend your time and money at the grocery store for that one item to complete your meal, check your fridge, cupboards and everything in between. This tip holds true for your traditional pasta and tomato sauce.

A pasta dish is quite simple to make: Choose your favorite type of pasta. Boil water and add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook pasta according to the direction’s on the box (different types of pasta require a specific amount of cooking time). Drain the pasta and place in your dish. Top with some sauce.

So now you have your pasta done, but you’ve noticed you don’t have any sauce! Don’t panic. You most likely have the ingredients to make some sauce right at home.
Ingredients:
Seasonings: Italian seasoning, oregano, red pepper flakes
olive oil
water
can of diced tomatos
clove of garlic
