Market Pasta Puttanesca

Very easy to make – all you need is a small pot and 2 1/2 cups water. Everything else is included. Fantastic flavor, whole wheat pasta – Ford claimed it needed meat, but meh, he thinks everything needs meat.

Trail Cooking & The Outdoors

 

I tried Packit Gourmet's dehydrated vegetarian Spaghetti Sauce dinner last weekend and it was awesome. Called Market Pasta Puttanesca, it's a one pot backpacking meal that makes two servings and packs 740 calories.

Otherwise known as “whore’s pasta,” Spaghetti Puttanesca is an, um, satisfying, rich meal with enough carbs to keep you going all night long. Packit Gourmet's Market Pasta Puttanesca  strays a bit from the traditional recipe (typically a briny tomato with garlic, anchovies, capers and olives), but it tastes damn good and is a snap to prepare.

Contains a backpacking superfood - tomatoes!
Tomatoes, fresh, powdered or dried, are a good source of vitamin C which helps in iron absorption and helps to rebuild tissue broken down on the trail. Surprisingly, sun-dried tomatoes pack up to 12 times the nutrients of fresh tomatoes at a fraction of the weight!

    The Market Pasta Puttanesca was very good. It beat the heck out of the "MH" spaghetti that was the dinner of another on the trip, hands down. Both of my buddies thought so as well.

    I cooked this one for dinner after stopping for the night. I used my Vargo Jet-Ti mostly because of the length of time it took to cook and my alcohol stove does not simmer. It is full on or off. Cooking time took a lot longer that indicated. Could have been the altitude. Serving size was about the same as the Bangers and mash and one again I wished there was more.

    Preparation: Prep is pretty straight forward. Add some water to the sauce packet, set aside, boil the pasta for 9 minutes (it took 14 minutes), add the sauce and vegi packet and cover and let sit for 5 minutes. It was a little runny so I let it sit another 10 minutes and the consistency was better.

    Taste: This had a nice tomato sauce with lots of veggies. The Parmesan packet was a nice addition to sprinkle on top.

    This was a tasty meal. I am not a huge pasta fan, but for a nice warm meal it was a big step above ramen noodles or any other instant noodles meals. The addition of the sauce and dry vegetables was a touch that really makes this a treat. I am very used to plain cheesy pasta dishes on the trail, but this dish was just different enough to make me want to try it again.

    The serving size was just on the verge of being enough for a dinner and a bit too much for lunch. Adding dehydrated tuna or turkey to it would probably make it just the perfect portions size for a trail dinner. As with most of the Packit Gourmet meals, the veggies are what make this meal a notch better. The added texture and flavors just adds enough zip to make it better than I expected.

    This is the best item on the website in my opinion. I am suprised it has not recieved more attention. I have tried every dinner on this site and this one is my favorite by far. Try it, it will not let you down.

    Absolutely the worst backpacking food I have tried. None of the flavors melded together with the sause simply bland and the vegetables over powering any other flavors there might have been. All finished off in the end with a very unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Will not ever try this one again.
