Pesto Pasta

Ingredients

• ½ pound raw, washed spinach
• Parmesan cheese 
• Pesto mix packet
• 8 oz whole wheat pasta of your choice
• 1/8 cup butter or oil

Instructions

At Home

• Dehydrate the spinach
• Purchace packet of pesto mix
• Place parmesan cheese in a bag
• Place oil or butter in a small container
• To speed up the time required to cook the pasta it can be cooked at home and dehydrated. 

On Trail

• Boil pasta in water until soft. Drain.
• ​Place the pasta and spinach in an extra container and mix well (the containers you plan to eat out of work well for this). The spinach will absorb any remaining water and the warm pasta will steam the spinach.
• Cook the pesto mix according to the directions on the packet. 
• Add the pasta and spinach back in the pot with the prepared pesto. 
• Add any extra butter or oil if there is any, and cheese. Mix well 
• Serve and eat
