“Get a bag of pasta, 41p, and two jars of pasta sauce, 69p from Aldi,” Elliot, from Preston, Lancashire, told Whats The Jam.
“Then you wanna get a bag of grated cheese from Farm Foods – 99p. A bargain!”
Sharing the steps to creating the dish, Elliot added: “Add the bag of pasta to boil in salted water.

“After 25 minutes, add the bag of cheese; try and even out the cheese.
“Then, after another 20 minutes in the oven, it should look like this.
“So now you’ve got a rich, saucy, cheesy pasta bake.
