Cheap and easy Gluten Free recipe for college kids

As a broke college student I’m required to get creative when it comes to cheap delicious meals. My dietary restrictions make this challenging. I took one of my favorite meals and tweaked it to fit my dietary needs. I got 3/4 of these ingredients at Aldi!!!

- I used 1 whole bag of GF pasta but, you can sub for any type of regular pasta. (The whole or half a box depending on how many you’re serving).

- I used about 1/3 of the grass fed beef. (If making this for more than 1 person I would have used all of it).

- I used a little less than half of the jar of sauce. Again, you can sub out any type of sauce I just prefer this one. I got this sauce from Publix ‼️

- lastly use any cheese you want I just love the taste of this one!! I used a few handfuls.
