A home made meal for four on a Saturday night for under £10

Ok, I spent a bit more than I should have at the Garden Centre on the Saturday afternoon. We have all been there! Although it's usually shoes, handbags or clothes that tempt us into a spending frenzy. Then on my way home, I thought to myself I could balance out my weekly budget by spending a little bit less on the Saturday night meal for the family. 
 
So I popped into my local Asda and came home with a bag of Pasta, some tomatoes and Mozzarella, a garlic bread and a bottle of their award winning La Moneda Merlot Reserva .
 
La Moneda Merlot Reserva reduced to £4.50
Asda Penne Pasta 2 for a £1.00
Asda Garlic Bread £1.00
Asda Antipasti Tomato and Mozzarella selection  £2.50
ASDA Grower's Selection Cherry Tomatoes (Optional) £1.00

I already had some fresh tomatoes in my fridge at home and always keep a basil plant in the kitchen but these were nice to not need to have extras.

Then voila! Less than 20 minutes later some lovely pasta with tomatoes and Mozzarella, garlic bread and some very yummy wine!!!  - Only afterwards did I let slip to my husband how much I spent at the garden centre but by then he was too full and mellow to care. ​
