My $8 pasta trick fed us for 3 days and changed how I meal plan

I used to throw out half a box of spaghetti every week because I only cooked what the recipe said, but last Tuesday I started making a double batch of cheap pasta with canned tomatoes and frozen veggies. That one pot stretched into lunch for my husband and me for three days, and it cost less than my usual fast food run. What's your go-to way to stretch one basic ingredient into multiple meals?

Used to think batch cooking was just for people with huge families or freezers full of Tupperware, but honestly this sounds way easier than I imagined. Now I'm wondering why I've been stressing over single servings my whole life.
