Comfort food for cold trips

Ingredients

  • 8 oz small pasta shapes (less than 7 min. cooking time)
  • 1⁄3 c diced sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1⁄4 c crumbled dried mushrooms
  • 1 t italian herb seasoning
  • 1⁄4 t ground black pepper
  • 1⁄4 t red pepper flakes
  • 1⁄2 c shelf stable parmesan cheese
  • 1⁄2 c diced toasted walnuts
  • 1 T olive oil (1 packet)
  • 4 c water

Instructions

At home:
Pack the pasta and dried vegetables in a sandwich bag. In a second bag pack the seasonings through walnuts. Tuck the oil in.

In camp:
Bring the water to a boil in your pot, add in the pasta package. Cook for time on the pasta package. Take off the stove, drain off most of the remaining water, leaving a Tablespoon or so behind.
Toss the pasta with the olive oil and seasoning bag. Season to taste with extra salt and ground black pepper if desired.

Notes

This recipe was in the November/December 2009 issue of Washington Trail Magazine. Photo by Kirk Kirkconnell.

To save time and fuel look for pasta that cooks in under 7 minutes. Both sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms can be found in most grocery store produce departments, look up high and down low to find them!
