Easy_Camping_Meals:
Pasta with Marinated Artichoke Hearts

Of all the easy_camping_meals I make regularly, this is one of my favorites. I adapted it from a recipe in the wonderful cookbook The Enchanted Broccoli Forest.

This takes a bit more work than most of my camping recipes, but sometimes I feel like making something special, even at camp. It feels absolutely decadent to eat this at a picnic table in the woods!

I always use spaghetti in this recipe, but you could use any kind of pasta.

Tips

  • If I am camping with a cooler (rather than in an RV with a fridge), I plan to have this on the first or second night out, when the cooler is still cold enough to keep the cottage cheese and sour cream chilled. Or I plan to make this on the day after a run to the grocery store.
  • Feel free to leave the measuring spoons and cups at home, and just estimate the amounts. This is one of those easy camping meals where you can't really go wrong!
  • If your camping skillet isn't large enough for mixing the pasta and sauce, you can either mix them together in a large bowl, or put each serving of pasta on a plate and then top with the sauce.
