One of my favorite cheap staple recipes:

Whole wheat pasta (Whatever shape you like)
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Red chili flakes
Shredded Parmesan cheese (please not the powder in the green can.)
Optional add-ins (frozen or fresh veggies, cooked chicken, whatever else you have around or can think of)
----------

Cook pasta. If using veggies, add to the pasta the last few minutes of boiling.

Drain. Toss pasta with a little olive oil, chili flakes, garlic and Parmesan to taste.

I have this once a week or so, and I usually make a big batch of it and bring it to work for lunch. It's good hot or cold too. It's cheap, filling and has great flavor.
