Life is expensive nowadays but with less than 5 euros and using genuine ingredients, at home you can cook pasta for 5 people: 

1) Pasta, 500g, 1.2 euro

2) Sugo, 1 bottle of passata or pelati, 1.5 euro

3) 50ml of olive oil, electricity and a pinch of salt: 1 euro

Cook and eat like an Italian saves money, makes you happy and (likely) prolongs life ❤️
