There are a million cheap noodle dishes that fit the bill. Alfredo's
ok, but Arrabiata, putanesca, and carbonarra are good too. Heck, oil
and garlic will work. And that's just Itallian. Japanese noodles,
thai noodles, and chinese noodles are all cheap and easy to make.

Good soup is cheap and easy too.

Spend some time with a Julia Child cookbook (Cooking at Home with
Jaques and Julia (I think that's the title) is very accessable) and
you'll learn some great basic techniques for cheap ingredients like
eggs and salad.
