Knorr Pasta Sides are a great choice for backpacking trips as they are lightweight, easy to prepare, and don’t require any refrigeration. All you need is a pot and some boiling water, and you can have a delicious meal in no time.
First, bring a pot of water to a boil. Depending on the elevation of your trip, it may take longer for the water to come to a rolling boil.
Once it does, add the contents of the package into the boiling water and stir for about seven minutes.
During this time, make sure to stir frequently and scrape the bottom of the pan with your spoon or spatula in order to prevent any sticking or burning. If you find that you need more liquid in order to cook your pasta properly, add some more boiling water.
Once seven minutes has passed and your pasta is at an al dente texture (meaning it still has a bite to it), drain off any remaining liquid using a strainer or colander. Make sure not to over-cook your pasta as this will cause it to become mushy.
Adding Flavor:
Knorr Pasta Sides already come with flavor packets included, so all you have to do is sprinkle them into your pot once the pasta is cooked. Alternatively, if you want something more flavorful than what comes in the package, feel free to mix in some fresh herbs from your garden or add some garlic powder for extra flavor.
Serving:
Once everything is cooked through and seasoned properly, serve up your meal in individual bowls or plates (depending on how many people are eating). For added protein and nutrition on backpacking trips, top off each bowl with some canned tuna or salmon.
Conclusion:
Cooking Knorr Pasta Sides while backpacking is easy and hassle-free. All you need is a pot of boiling water and 7 minutes of stirring time for an al dente meal that’s full of flavor. Top off each bowl with some canned tuna or salmon for added protein and nutrition on long trips.
