Equipment

  • Dehydrator

Ingredients

  • cup penne pasta mini, precooked and dehydrated
  • 2 pieces sun-dried tomatoes oil-free, diced
  • 1 Tbsp pine nuts
  • 2 tsp basil dried
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • tsp table salt
  • 2 Tbsp parmesan cheese shelf-stable
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

OPTIONAL

  • cup noodles gluten-free precooked and dehydrated (substitution), gluten-free option
  • cup chickpea pasta precooked and dehydrated (substitution), gluten-free option
  • salt substitute substitution, reduced-sodium option

Instructions

HOME

  • Put noodles and diced tomatoes in a bag or container to be used in the backcountry. Kitchen scissors work well for dicing tomatoes.
  • Put the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bag or container to be stored with the noodles. See meal prep tips below.
  • Pack 2 Tbsp (28 g) olive oil in a leakproof container to be added when the meal is consumed. We recommend double bagging the oil in the event there is a leak.

FIELD

  • Remove the pesto packet from the noodle bag or container.
  • Add 8 oz (240 mL) hot/cold water or enough to cover the noodles.
  • Let stand until noodles are fully rehydrated. This will take approximately 5 minutes with hot water or 60 minutes with cold water.
  • Consume or properly discard the noodle broth to follow the Leave No Trace principle.
  • Add pesto packet and 2 Tbsp (28 g) olive oil to the noodles.
  • Stir to mix well and enjoy!
