Simple recipes?
Everyone knows students are good at experimenting when it comes to cooking! However, I'm terrible at cooking to be perfectly honest. So, if anyone out there has come across some simple and preferably cheap dishes - do share!

Cous Cous/ rice/ pasta are great staples to have in. Buying or making a basic tomato sauce is useful too as you can use it as a base for dishes and then throw in vegetables or cheese or whatever you want to use up.
Omlettes are one of the quickest and easiest things to make I think and you can put in anything (potato is nice in them for a more filling meal).

Hmm, I've never tried cous cous. May just give it a go. Also, omlettes - genius idea, I love those Keep the ideas coming!
Keep the ideas coming!
The easiest meal of all is jacket potato. Just pop it in the oven then forget about it for a couple of hours. (DO NOT MICROWAVE IT!!! YUCK!)
This is good even for people who think that easy means quick, cause you don't have to actively cook it for two hours. Let your oven do the work and do whatever you want (watch neighbours, the simpsons and hollyoaks )

)Pasta - Boil it, rinse it.
Heat up sauce, pour on top.
Grate cheese, add to top.

Haha, expensive though!
Oven dish
Layer of tuna on the bottom (drained, obviously)
Layer of baked beans in the middle
Layer of mashed potato on top
Grated cheese on top (Optional, but awesome)
Whack it in the oven as hot as it'll go until the top goes brown. Bingo. Quality meal.

You sir, are a genius. I have a tin of tuna and a tin of baked beans to use up, that sounds perfect! Roughly how long do you think it would take to cook?Hurricane Kat You sir, are a genius.

Since all of the stuff's cooked already, it doesn't make too much difference, but it's nicer when it's gone a bit browner on top. It doesn't half fill you up too
