It may make you gain weight, if you eat too much, but otherwise pasta is great on a budget and can be quite healthy.
And actually, it's the sauces that can make it healthy v. unhealthy. Red marinara type sauces are best. If you can afford it, toss in some veggies for nutrients and vitamins. One of the pitfalls of eating the same food on a regular basis, is that you miss out on important vitamins, protein, etc. If you mix it up with some fresh tomatoes, zuchinni, onion, and other veggies it will help you get some of those.
You can also stir fry some veggies and soy sauce and toss it with that, for some variety and a way to eat veggies. Maybe throw in some peanuts or cashews for protein.
