Camp Pasta
1 pound pasta -- any kind
1 package spaghetti sauce mix
1 can tomato paste
1 pound lean hamburger -- ground turkey
or Italian sausage
2 pots
2 stirring spoons
1 lid
potholders or gloves
Heat water to a boil in a large pot. In a smaller pot cook the meat and
add the sauce mix, water, and tomato paste according to the instructions
on the sauce package. Cook the pasta in the water for 8-10 minutes.
Place the lid on the pot and with gloves or pot holders drain the water
from the pasta through the crack between the lid and the pot. Putting the
pot on a stump or log and letting the stump or log hold the weight of the
pot helps. Mix the sauce with the drained pasta and serve . Grated
cheese may be used with the pasta. Pasta notes: Spaghetti is the
traditional pasta, but wheels, or other forms that are more compact and
larger will be much easier to drain.
