UPPER WEST SIDE, NYC. Use economic cuts of meat and opt for vegetarian options when possible. One of the best ways to eat Italian on a budget is to use items you already have in your pantry.

Beans, rice, pasta, canned tomatoes, flavorful tomato sauce, and vegetables are all great pantry staples that can add flavor and texture to any dish.

For example, if you have leftover cooked pasta in the fridge, you can quickly whip up a tasty baked ziti by combining it with canned tomatoes, cheese, and spices.

You can also use these pantry staples to make soups and stews or even an easy spaghetti sauce — just sauté some onions and garlic in olive oil, then add canned crushed tomatoes for a quick and flavorful sauce. Another way to save money on Italian dinners is by looking for deals at the grocery store.

Many stores offer discounts on certain items, such as cheese or olives, that can go into making delicious classic Italian recipes.

You should also watch for sales on meats such as chicken breasts or ground beef — these can be used in everything from lasagna to meatballs.
