Ramen noodles and a can of zucchini and tomatoes.
And we liked it! It is one of those go to's when you have no intent to cook and you've already had a sandwich, a peanut butter, tuna, and cheese and crackers the other days. . .LOL!!!
Wow, you have guests? I'm jealous! 😜
Don't tell anyone but we love that canned zuc/tomato mix. Haven't yet tried it with ramen, though, just regular pasta.
Maybe I wouldn't serve my version of Ramen Leftovers DeLuxe to guests....ramen prepped as on package, handful of minute rice, assorted Whatever's In Fridge.

When my kids were young, and we had busy weeknights w/ sports practices, etc., I'd make creamed tuna on toast. It's still a favorite of theirs when they come to visit and we're at odds over 'what to fix for supper'. LOL!
Make a few cups of white sauce, add tuna & salt & pepper, serve over hot buttered toast.
I like to use a combo of solid white and chunk light. The cheap stuff adds a lot of flavor, and I don't bother draining it.....since that's basically impossible anyway!
ETA: On 2 occasions, I did end up serving this to company!
I'd made creamed tuna on a Halloween night, and my oldest son dropped by with a new girlfriend, so they both pulled up a chair.
After supper, my son said to me 'Well, I guess she's a keeper! She ate creamed tuna.'
The second time, another son was traveling with a girlfriend & stopped by when they were in the area. She'd been sick and wanted to lie down, so went upstairs for a good nap.
Later, he and I ate a quick supper of creamed tuna, and he brought up a small plate for her. He soon came down w/ a clean plate, and exchanged it for a larger one.
She liked it! LOL!

I make these at least once a week as they are budget friendly: bean burritos with canned refried beans, cheese, sauce and whatever you want, cheap and easy. Buttered noodles done the Italian way, easy and few ingredients.

La Victoria makes a very nice 'taco sauce' that would be perfect for those burritos. They have a few varieties. I get the 'mild' because I don't like hot. But it's very tasty and I've used it for many years for my brand (not hot! hehe) of Mexican food.

Ok, this really sounds good to me. I have some cans of Kirkland chicken (I think it's only white meat but that's what I prefer anyway) and always have rotini on hand. Putting PN alfredo on list. Thank You!
Sounds like that would make a few meals, so I like that too.
As I mentioned the other day, I put this alfredo on my list. I was at the grocery store today and disheartened that the spot where the Paul Newman products were was empty all but for one jar of one of his red sauces.
I pondered it and decided to snag a jar of the Rao brand. I've never used this, as I actually don't generally use jarred sauces, but have always heard very good things about the Rao brand, so I hope this one is good!

I've been making this a lot for lunch now that I'm home for lunch.
It's what we used to make at Girl Scout Camp. A can of soup and ground beef.
I use 1 lb grassfed ground beef and season it. Brown the beef then add a can of soup. I like Wolfgang Puck's Hearty Garden Vegetable.
Makes about 4-5 servings.
