The only seasoning she should add to her pasta water is salt 😭 So much is wasted when you drain the water because it hardly sticks to the pasta. Add everything else to the meat, sauce, or bare pasta after you strained it Edit: This comment blew up WOAH But I stand by what I said. I may be an Americanized Italian but I know you only add salt to your pasta water. Then you take some of that pasta water to add to your sauce AND THAT'S when you add all the spices. I also season my meat but it's important to taste through all of this because you could overseason once the pasta water, sauce, and meat come together before topping the noodles.

@@DrBitchcraft. it confuses me that people think that processed food is the cheapest thing to eat. Sure ramen and deli meats are cheap, but they don’t last multiple meals in the long run so you have to spend money more frequently. Bulk bags of rice and beans and dry pasta last for so long and are cheaper in the long run. The uncle ben’s rice is pretty expensive too if you continually buy it for every meal compared to bulk rice.

It sounds like it didn't taste good either
My struggle meal growing up was corned beef hash (from the can) with white rice. My mama would put that hash in a pan, sauté it with hot sauce, ketchup butter and basic seasonings. Put a little water and butter… in no longer struggling, but I make it every once in a while in memory of her, good food, and good times even when things weren’t so good
Mac and cheese + hotdogs is comfort food honestly. Made me realize a lot of comfort food is also struggle food

my struggle meal as a kid was raw ramen because we didnt have a microwave and our gas was off. it was paired with some type of canned veggie because my school gave out canned veggies and packets of oatmeal for everyone.
Mac & cheese with hotdogs was practically a staple in my home growing up. Lol. Adding a slice or two of Kraft singles in there to melt would help boost the flavor.

My struggle meal is Spaghetti, chicken noodle, or potato soup. Lol Make a big pot of it with cheap ingredients, freeze leftovers, eat for a week. Can also just store the leftovers but my mom always froze them. To me, anything you can make that is filling and will cover multiple meals is good. As a plus, all the meals can be made for under $10.

My favorite struggle meal was always pinto beans made from dried beans in the cupboard (because of course you always have those around in case Times got lean) with hot water cornbread and rice. If I had some ham hocks in the freezer That was even better. If not, I just used fat from leftover bacon grease. I can thank my grandmother for my depression era recipes

My struggle meal was basically two. The first it’s maze meal ( Iv had it in the uk and in uni but it’s an African thing) ( that’s what it’s called in the west) made into a sort of grits way. But it’s sweet and soupy. You add milk, butter if u had it and some sugar. Best thing ever in the morning. U let it go around the sides of the bowl using a spoon and blow. This cools it down as it’s doesn’t cool fast. Then u just scoop up the ring around the bowl. In the uk, it was ever bake beans on toast or something my mum made. It was semi cooked baby potatoes and egg fried with soy sauce. It’s so good and it’s definitely something I made continuing into uni. Also one of my biggest childhood memories ( and even now, I know eggs are a lot rn but I get them off fathers hens).
My go to struggle meal when I was broke AF was canned chickpeas and rice with a stock cube, seasoning and some onion if there were any in the cupboard, as a sort of soup. Other go-to struggle was value beans & sausages with potatoes or bread.
