Pasta is good, but unless you eat a LOT, it won't do the job.  Of the three
main kinds of nutrition groups, that is, protein, carbohydrates, and fats,
protein and carbo's have the same number of calories per gram.  Fats have
over twice that.  So, in other words, to gain weight (oh, that I should have
such a problem...) foods that are high in fat are what your friend should 
concentrate on.  Some methods might be to fry (in low colesterol fats), drink
whole rather than skim milk, eat almost any pre-processed or prepared food
(American food processors like to add LOTS of fat and salt)  (on second thought,
the salt would be enough to keep me AWAY from preprocessed.  And, anyway, you
specified cheap...).  Peanut putter is a good source of both protein and
fats, as are nuts in general, though they're more expensive.  Avocadoes and
coconut (HIGH in saturated fats!) are both high in fat, though more expensive.
     If all else fails, tell him to come to me.  I have several spare pounds
I'm willing to give away (:-)).
