Do you keep all of these dishes in the freezer for the rest of the week? I can't imagine that Macaroni Cheese would freeze very well...

Yes you can put them all in the freezer, and if you defrost the macaroni cheese in the oven it should be fine.

Spaghetti Carbonara (about ten portions)

Recipe: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2876/learn-to-make-spaghetti-carbonara

£5.05/10 portions = 50p a portion.

Obviously dont freeze the spaghetti just the sauce, divide it into however many portions you like.

I've never seen mac n cheese made like that? I don't see how you can make the cheese sauce without adding flour - and what are the eggs for?

(Good thread though!).

I guess the eggs (or well, the yolk) is used insted of the flour. Though I have never made proper mac n cheese so I don't know if that is a big no no (:

Oh, is that meant to taste nicer? I just make it the normal way (white sauce - flour and milk, then melt cheese in it). It would be cheaper the normal way as well as the flour would be something ridiculous like 5p at most!

No I don't think that it would make it taste nicer really. I guess it's a good alternative though if someone wants to cut down on the wheet products. :dontknow:
