Grilled sandwiches definitely got my friends and I through our first term.

Noodles are personally one of my favourite student meals. They taste great and can be changed to suit almost any dietary requirement– I personally cook gluten-free noodles! They’re also a great group meal, if you’re cooking with friends. A recipe I like is one of Jamie Oliver’s, which I’ve linked here. These noodles are veggie, but you can pick and...

The recipe they provide takes about 20 minutes to cook and serves 6. Because of the large serving size, it costs a bit more than other meals at around £16 for all the ingredients. However,...
Another pasta recipe from BBC Goodfood, I know! This time it’s a red sauce caponata pasta recipe. Trust me, you will thank me for this! It takes only 20 minutes to cook and serves 4 people, so it’s another great recipe to cook with friends or save more for later. You can also very easily simplify this recipe (as it is slightly more complex than bas...

You can adjust the spice levels to suit your tastes (which my friends and I do quite frequently). This is definitely a reliable recipe I’ve found myself using sever...
