A British man has shared his simple recipe with just three ingredients – and it feeds a family of four for under £3.

Elliot Jeory is well known for finding a good deal or spotting a bargain from a mile away, and regularly shares his top tips with his 435,000 followers.

The dad of two revealed his straightforward recipe that anyone can follow to feed their family on a budget.

The 39-year-old called the meal “absolute bargain” and claims it is “absolutely delicious.”

“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.

“Then when the pasta is cooked, drain it, then add it to an oven tray.

“Pour over the two jars of sauce, then fill one of the jars up with tap water and pour that in as well.

“Give it a right good stir and mix it all in.

“Then put it in a preheated oven for 25 minutes.

“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.

“It only takes three ingredients, it’s very simple to cook, and the total cost is £2.78.”

Elliot claims families could even stretch the dish to serve five or six people, depending on the portion sizes.
