You can easily turn $20 into

You can easily turn $20 into a nice bottle of red, a crisp Cesaer salad, some mannicotti, a hunk o' crusty bread, and a nice desert item for a fix-at-home meal that'll be sure to impress.

Mannicotti is super simple to do - just cook those big tubular noodles until they're a bit more than half-done, mix some ricotta & parmesian cheeses, an egg, some and chopped parsley, then stuff the mixture into the cooled pasta tubes. Lay 'em in a dish and cover generously with jarred sauce. Trust me, this is easy peasy yet seems like a real fancy schmancy meal.

Light some candles, toss on some Dean Martin or Frankie and your gal might think she's at Carrino's or Olive Garden - but you've saved yourself at least $20-30.
