Alfredo Sauce?

Cooking 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.

I agree w/Lori: Knorr works. Add to ramen w/foil pack of crabmeat and a touch of cayenne & garlic. Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.

Delicious in almost no time.

Your 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.

Knorr or Simply Organic Alfredo sauce packets, add powdered milk and some olive oil. Easy and quite good!

I'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?

Yep, 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.

I believe Subway has little packets of olive oil in their to go condiment section.

AS, they usually have them with the pasta, if not look in the section where gravy mixes are sold. Some stores do that instead!

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.
