Spaghetti Puttanesca
Spaghetti Puttanesca is one of my favorite dishes that I love eating at home. However, variation with penne works better for backpacking meals. Short pasta is easier to pack; it doesn’t take so much space in a bag as long varieties, and hold its shape better after rehydrating.

Instructions
AT HOME
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions.
