$10 Potato and Cinnamon Pasta

Did you know you can make a gourmet pasta dish for under 10 dollars? The Pasta Bro and I challenged ourselves to develop a recipe for an easy but elegant pasta dish using ingredients totaling just $9.87. This dish hits all the right flavor notes; it’s creamy from provolone cheese, hearty thanks to Yukon gold potatoes and pasta, and savory thanks to crispy guanciale.  It’s budget-friendly and absolutely perfect, just like you are. Here’s how we made it:
