Outpost Meals

One of the meals that was a regular on my mother’s dinner menu was a vegan dish that was mostly our garden tomatoes, simmered for an hour or so, along with the basil, carrots, corn, onions, and peppers we also grew. For dinner, we’d fill a bowl with noodles and top them with a ladle full of her delicious not-spaghetti-but-better! ragu sauce.

I’ve eaten more of this pasta than any other. Maybe it’s the full-bodied piquant spaghetti-like sauce that pulls me in. Maybe it’s the basil and oregano. Whatever it is, I’m hooked. Simply pour boiling water directly into the pouch and wait eight to ten minutes.

Potatoes with a ridiculous amount of cheese tops most everyone’s list of comfort foods. Adding some delicious, sweet kale moves it beyond the comfort realm and into your need for green.
