I came up with this recipe for hiking, on Trailcooking, but it works great as a pantry prepper recipe. It can be stored in a mason jar, as a meal kit, or keep the components on hand to make. No draining of the pasta needed. Directions are given for pulling it together as a meal kit, for storage. Doubling it is easy for a family (you can use a pound of pasta, just add in an extra quarter cup water).
Alfredo Pasta
In a sandwich bag:
- 7 ounces pasta shapes
- ½ cup heavy cream powder
- 1 Tbsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp dried parsley, if desired
- Pinch ground black pepper
In a snack bag:
- ¼ cup butter powder
In a snack bag:
- ½ cup parmesan cheese (shelf stable, Kraft type)
Directions:
Add 2 cups water to a small saucepan. Add the pasta bag to the pot.
Drizzle a little water into the butter powder, and stir until it is a smooth paste. Add more water if needed.
Add butter powder paste to the pot.
Bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower heat to a gentle simmer, put lid on. Cook for time on pasta package, stirring often, lowering flame as needed.
Turn off the stove, stir in the parmesan cheese slowly.
Serves 2.
