Bare Bones Budget Ramen Meal

This meal is used in times when our budget is extremely tight or we are sacrificing to save to purchase something. It is GOOD and you won't even realize you are eating Ramen. ; )

• 3 packages of Ramen broken up
• 1 packet of Ramen seasoning (save the other 2 for another meal)
• 4 cups water
• 15oz tomato sauce
• 2 6oz cans tuna; drained
  
• 1/2 t Parsley
• 1/2 t Marjoram
• 1t Mrs Dash Tomato, basil and garlic
• 2 Laughing Cow Herb and Garlic cheese wedges (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste

Pour 4 cups of water into a medium sized pot and bring to a boil. Add the 3 packages of Ramen with 1 packet of seasoning. Reduce heat to medium high, cook only for 2-3 minutes and then drain and return to pot and set aside.

In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, tuna and seasonings and cheese and bring to a light boil and then reduce to medium low, stir often and if needed use a whisk to separate cheese.

Pour sauce into pot with Ramen and stir and serve!

Makes about 8 servings.

I serve this Ramen meal with homemade whole wheat buttered toast.
