We tried a new non-refrigerated meal tonight: Knorr's Pasta Sides - Parmesan Fettuccini+Spinace Pasta in Parmesan sauce and rate it 5 stars in the non-refrigerated category. We heated 1-3/4 cups water, 2 tbs dried milk, 1 tbs canola or olive oil to a boil (slightly altered from package), stirred in the package and boiled for 7 minutes (on package), let stand 2 minutes (on package), light simmer for 2 minutes to dry up excess water (not on package). If you cook without a lid or have a more rapid boil then more water at the beginning (on package) may be needed or the 2 minute light simmer to remove excess water at the end may not be needed. We plan to add one small drained can of chicken while camping but just had the Pasta Side alone tonight and enjoyed it.
