We’ve all been stuck with what to make for dinner and with the cost of ingredients forever going up, we’re also looking for ways to make things cheaper. This tomato and basil pasta is the answer to your needs. It’s quick, easy to make, absolutely delicious, and costs $2.50 AUD per portion. This is my go-to pasta recipe at least once per week. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Did you blend the tomatoes? Or smash them?
When I watch your videos, I turn into Randy Marsh from South Park.
I'm a little late to this party but I really appreciate these recipes on a budget, along with the meal prep episodes. The other videos are brill as well of course, it's just that as a busy working professional these cheap 'n easy recipes are lifesavers on weekday evenings.
Also I agree and would like to add on to your point about chopping the basil; I was always taught that when chopping soft herbs such as basil or coriander, you'd need a properly sharp knife to slice the herbs properly without bruising it. The reason why some other folks might think it's bruising it is because the knife used isn't sharp enough and whoever's chopping winds up pushing the blade into and bludgeoning the herb to compensate for the bluntness, ending up with the herb bleeding out onto the chopping board. If your board has a big green puddle after chopping, you know that you'd bruised the herbs instead of chopping it properly. There should be minimal green liquid on the board if sliced with a sharp knife.
Anyways great channel, great videos, I was already cooking for myself but these videos have given me a lot more confidence that even I can make something much better than the usual dross that I serve up lol. Keep it up mate!
Does this work without the garlic? My other half is pregnant and can’t stand the smell/taste at the moment!
Boom 💥 another winner, quick & mouth watering dinners. Get your arse on Tv you deserve it!
Hi, Jack! My girls like pasta cooked like this. But i use dried basil to infuse the aroma.
Another fantastic recipe! Love the quick simple ones, definitely helps with cost! Thank you so much for such creative and considered videos. Really love your videos and always look forward to you posting them 😀
Looks delicious 👌
You look so happy when you eat all these delicious dishes you make. And your sense of humour makes it all worthwhile for me. Take care Jack. x
What an easy recipe to make.
Hi Jack, thanks for the video. Is that a stainless steel pan that you used to saute the onions/garlic?
Really enjoyed this one Chef Jack. Simple but so much flavor and personality!
Would you be able to make Omurice sometime? I've fallen in love with those flavors and can understand the popularity as a comfort food.
Can I ask the brand of your stainless steel cookware?
Another great pasta recipe. Keep them coming! BTW what's your thoughts on using fresh tomatoes over canned?
Love it how you whisper how many grinds of pepper..
I really like this simple recipe man bc when I have extra leftover protein such as chicken or salmon it fits perfectly into the dish
Wow! New sub here! I love your cookingstyle and your dish looks amazing! Hope to stay connected! 😀
Hey Jack, just wanted to say that I saw your post re: view count earlier and wanted to encourage you to keep going. Your recipes are awesome and super helpful for people short on money and time. Thanks heaps!
how do you keep your chopping board so stable?
