Chef Moe, put any change you have from these $5 meals into a jar and see what you end up with in 30 days. There might be enough to do a great “fancy treat” meal once a month for the family!

While I'm not struggling financially myself (not particularly well off either), I'm watching every single one of these videos because they are so educational and informative. You never know when money might get tight, and situations can change in the blink of an eye. And if my wife and I start eating with this kind of budget, we can save so much money.

My nonna swore by peas to stretch food. In pasta: peas, mixed in with ground meat: peas, to bulk out soup: peas. I spent many an afternoon shelling peas 😅

Fun fact: I reached out to Chef Moe because I work at a nonprofit animal shelter and absolutely love his videos. I mentioned that many of our staff are vegetarians—not only because we care for all kinds of animals at the shelter, but also because vegetarian meals can be a more affordable option for many of our team members on limited incomes as they work at a nonprofit. I asked if he had more vegetarian recipe ideas, and he responded, “Absolutely!” He even praised our team for the work we do caring for shelter animals, which was incredibly kind and meant a lot to us. So while this recipe wasn’t vegetarian immediately because it used chicken broth, it is super easy to make it vegetarian! I still really appreciate that he took the time to respond and support our mission. It’s awesome to see someone who genuinely values animal shelter work, and I’m looking forward to seeing more vegetarian recipes from him!

Obviously to keep it completely vegetarian, you would have to use a vegetable stock. I assume they didn’t have to mention that, but just in case. ❤️❤️❤️

Italian American from NJ - We ate this and mom would add sausage. While we never struggled we were a family of 7 and it goes a long way. Sometimes mom used escarole and cannellini beans but the basic recipe was the same.

I suggest grabbing packets of parm, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and any other free sauces or seasonings from restaurants! I have literally never paid for red pepper flakes, I ask for them when we get pizza even though I don’t use it on pizza

If you don’t have a blender use a potato masher to mash up some of the mixture!

I'm sure it goes w/o saying, but to keep it vegetarian you would have to use vegetable broth, not chicken broth... But LOVE your videos Chef!!!

My mother would add old fashioned oats to her pasta meals to stretch it out with four kids and three adults (grandmother) most leftovers lasted for about three meals worth.
