- ⅔ 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
- ⅛ tsp table salt
- 2 Tbsp parmesan cheese shelf-stable

OPTIONAL

- ⅔ cup chickpea pasta precooked and dehydrated (substitution), gluten-free 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!
