Three recipes for a student without an oven

Sometimes, cooking and being a student doesn’t go very well together.

I also know that with social media, a lot of peoples share ideas of recipes online but as a student, I can also say that it’s hard to keep up with them with a lack of materials. And honestly, most of the time, I was just missing one piece, but still the most important : an oven.

That’s why I’m going to share with you today my 3 favorite recipes as a gourmet student without an oven.

I- Tomato pasta and extra shrimp

A classic !

All you need is :

• Pasta, anykind
• Tomatoes
• Shrimp
• Basil
• Parmesan cheese (it’s not an obligation)
