easier way to do pasta on the trail

[fungi601]

I came across this this morning and thought what a great way to do pasta on the trail. It uses less water, and less fuel. This guy is of course doing it at home and on the stove but you could certainly do it outdoors with your small camp pot and whatever kind of stove you use. http://lifehacker.com/5860015/cook-p...hacks&autoplay

Another option is to cook the pasta in the sauce itself, with just a bit of extra water.

Freezer bag cooking is another way. http://www.trailcooking.com/

FBC is of course the way to easy and tasty pasta dishes and thank you to Kingbee for linking me Lots of FBC friendly recipes on the website, just look under the recipes and FBC or search for them:http://www.trailcooking.com/search/node/FBC%20pasta .

Also for easy one pot recipes with no draining? Here are two:

That method works gud. Just bring pasta/cold water to boil, remove from heat and let set for about 10 minutes. Experiment 'til you get the right amount of water. You will need to sitr it a few times.

It also helps to have a pot cozy. That can be as simple as a fleece hat (though maybe not in bear country--do you want your head smelling like dinner?). Some hikers make them out of Reflectix duct insulation (which also makes a pretty good supplemental sleeping pad for snow camping).
