The Ultimate Budget Meal

At Candies UI, we know that sometimes you need a meal that costs less than $2 but tastes like $20. This Garlic Butter Pasta (also known as Pasta Aglio e Olio) is a classic Italian-American staple that never fails. It’s comforting, aromatic, and ready in the time it takes to boil water.

Step 2: In a pan, melt 3 tbsp of butter and add 4 cloves of minced garlic. Cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
