I recently had some of the Enertia Trailfoods Allegheny Alfredo Noodles. I would like to make something similar, but I don't have a dehydrator. Is there a recipe for making an alfredo sauce that only water is needed? I'm assuming that the noodles would be the dried noodles from the grocery store?
Oct 11, 2009 at 12:26 pm #1535349Cooking and dehydrating pasta will make it easily rehydrated by adding boiling water. Your oven will work as a dehydrator; wedge the door open with a wooden spoon and set the temp low, 300-350F. The food can be spread on a cookie sheet or silicon mat. You can get just-add-water alfredo sauce in dry form – all kinds of brands, including Knorr. Some of them want you to add butter, but olive oil works too.

Delicious in almost no time.
Oct 11, 2009 at 2:37 pm #1535361Your temperature for oven dehydrating should by 170°F or lower. Having it at 300-350°F will further cook the food and you will end up with overcooked food rather than dehydrated. Just saying.
Oct 11, 2009 at 2:55 pm #1535365Knorr or Simply Organic Alfredo sauce packets, add powdered milk and some olive oil. Easy and quite good!
Oct 12, 2009 at 9:19 am #1535530I'm assuming that I can get these in the pasta section of my local grocery store? If I must add olive oil, what is the easiest and lightest way to transport small amounts?
Oct 12, 2009 at 9:44 am #1535538Yep, I shouldn't bake cornbread and post without coffee. Should be lower, lower temps.
As for olive oil, you can get packets of it at minimus.biz. Tons of other stuff there that's good for backpacking.
Oct 12, 2009 at 9:49 am #1535539I believe Subway has little packets of olive oil in their to go condiment section.

As for olive oil? Either minimus.biz or packitgourmet.com for the 1 Tbsp packets – you can get organic as well. No mess, no fuss. 1 Tbsp is perfect for a packet of sauce.
