A mum has impressed foodies online with her 'life-changing' pasta recipe that uses just a few budget buys from Aldi.

The Australian woman, called Erin, described the dish as her 'favourite' meal and a 'staple' for her and her husband.

'This staple dish takes less than 15 minutes to make and it's not too heavy,' Erin posted on Facebook.

She added: 'It's a little bit spicy - the chorizo and olives. Other brands of chorizo aren't spicy so you could try those and a plain olive if you're not a fan of chilli.'

Erin also said the entire meal can be made for under $10, and it serves four people.

To make the budget dish, Erin said you'll need some spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, green olives, onion, chorizo, butter and garlic.

Then, there are just four steps to putting the dish together.

Those who saw the meal online were hugely impressed with how simple but delicious it looked.

'This looks incredible and so easy - thank you for sharing,' one person posted.

'I make this all the time but vegetarian style, pine nuts, cashews, red capsicum cherry tomatoes and onion,' another commenter added.

Some said they already had all of the ingredients in their fridge and store cupboard, and would try it that evening.

This isn't the first time a home cook's pasta recipe has set the internet alight.

Previously, another Australian home cook shared how she made tasty chicken pesto penne with cheese and spinach as a perfect winter dinner for the whole family.

The woman shared photos of her delicious dish to the Slow Cooker Recipe and Tips Facebook page after cooking it for four hours.

To make the meal she used garlic, cooked cream, basil pesto, shallots, cream of chicken soup and sun-dried tomatoes.
