Survival food is sustenance that can be made easily during a survival or emergency situation using mainly simple, long-term storage food items, cooked outdoors, using off-the-grid methods.

Pasta Alfredo

by Leon Pantenburg

One aspect of preparedness that constantly amazes me is the potential taste of the storage food.

Get the right recipe, and you’ll find all sorts of combinations that can turn those long term staples into delicious meals.

Gravies and sauces are right at the top of the survival recipes list in importance. The right topping can take pasta, rice, potatoes etc and make them into a brand new taste sensation.

This recipe, from “Jan’s Fabulous Food Storage Recipes,” by Jan LeBaron, is a great choice for a quick, delicious pasta meal.

2 c white cream soup base

4 c water

1/8 tsp black pepper

2 Tbs Italian seasoning, dried

In medium pan, bring water to a boil, add chicken broth, garlic granules, lower heat to a medium boil, slowly whisk in a white cream soup base, add pepper and Italian seasoning.

As mixture starts to thicken, slowly add most of parmesan cheese, reserve a small amount to sprinkle over top.

Serve Alfredo sauce over the top of your favorite pasta, add any meat or vegetables and top with additional parmesan.

A family favorite is to rehydrate broccoli and chicken and toss with pasta before adding Alfredo sauce then add additional Alfredo.
