At the end of the day on the trail just about anything tastes good. But I love pasta. The spicier the better. One of my favorites is capellini with smoked tuna. This is really simple:

-Get a plastic bottle. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil, some red pepper flakes and garlic (you can chop it or get some in a jar).

-Buy a 5 oz package of StarKist “Tuna Creations” (hickory smoked) in a foil package. (contains 100mg of Omega3 fatty acids).

-Cook a half pound of pasta (add a handful of salt to the water).

-Dump in the olive oil mixture and then the tuna.

-Mix and eat.

This is just bursting with flavor. Feeds three.

Tip: angel hair or capellini cooks up faster than thicker pasta. The olive oil gets infused with the garlic flavor which really perks up the taste.

Eat well. Be light. Be safe. Be one with the pack.
