Yes I think I could, pasta, fresh tomato sauce and herbs. Baguette and garlic butter. Admittedly I’d have some of the stuff in the house already but I think I could!
You would definitely need to spend some time and effort sourcing your ingredients!
Ready-made pasta sauce is a giant swizz- a tin of tesco value tomatoes is only 27c and you can’t taste the difference between these and Roma brand ones at nearly a euro. Throw in some onions, garlic, and dried or fresh herbs like basil and oregano and that’s all there is to it! Simple! And you don’t even need any fresh ingredients, you can cobble something together from whatever you have in the press!

I spent 4 euro today on a lovely sandwich at a service station. Although I usually make my own, probably saving over 3.50 per sandwich.
I reckon up north you could do it for 3 pounds. Here, maybe 4 euro? Tight enough.
