Ingredients

  • 454 grams (1 pound) angel-hair pasta
  • 85 grams (3 ounces) julienned sun-dried tomatoes
  • 125 grams (1¼ cup) shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 59 ml (¼ cup) milk
  • 7 grams (½ cup) fresh basil, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. In camp, put dried tomatoes in a small bowl, then pour boiling water over them. Let them soften for 5 minutes.

    Drain the tomatoes.

    Cook the pasta according to directions. (Angel-hair pasta cooks quickly, so it’s a good choice for backpacking, too.)

    Strain the pasta.

    Mix the tomatoes, 100 grams (1 cup) Parmesan, basil, milk, and olive oil or butter into the pasta.

    Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle each serving with remaining shredded cheese.
