I have a desk job in addition to all I do with One Pan Wonders, so I squeeze recipe testing in where I can. The Freezerbag Cooking style of meals works wonderfully for easy work lunches so I often test just-add-water type meals right at my desk. I used raditore for the pasta in this one, which works fine in hot water, but took a LONG time (like 20-30 minutes) to rehydrate in cold water. I would use something like elbows or small shells next time I make this. Olive oil and Parmesean cheese will be added in the backcountry as well.
This one is a spin off of the pasta with salmon and artichokes I posted a few days ago. Still needs a name... Any suggestions?
1/2 cup (cooked and dehydrated pasta)
2 T dried chicken and/or turkey (mine is mixed together, along with some TVP)
2 packets True Lemon
2 T dried artichoke hearts
1 T dried peas
1 T dried mixed vegetables
1 t dried oregano
1 t chicken or vegetable buillion
At home: combine all of the ingredients in a zip locking plastic bag.

In camp (or at your desk!): add cold water to cover. Stir well and allow to rehydrate. Stir again before eating.

To give you an idea of how much food this really is, that tupperware container is a 2 cup capacity. Normally I would just make the meal in the zip lock bag - the container is for ease of photography.
