Mountain House Pasta Primavera | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | Vegetarian | 2 Servings

We took some Mountain House MREs with us camping for at least one easy peasy meal. The most difficult thing about this particular meal was that it required extra waiting time to properly cook the pasta. But once it was done, I was super impressed at the quality, taste and texture. You know how lots of "with vegetables" products scrimp on the the veggies? The vegetables were plentiful, varied, and many seemed like they were fresh cooked instead of freeze dried and heated with water. I enjoyed the sauce and the pasta was perfectly al dente. I'm really surprised I liked this so much. In fact, I wished I had another for another night.

Great for backpacking or camping. Easy to carry, easy to make, and tastes great!

This is my favorite backpacking meal. It’s not always easy finding dehydrated meals without meat, and once I found this one I was stoked. It became a joke on a recent backpacking trip because I packed it for several meals, it’s delicious!

This was a great meal. The flavors simple and straight forward. I really liked that they didn't try to reinvent the wheel with some sort of fancy twist. My only issue (and, this is a small one) was that the recipe called for a little too much water (1 2/3 cup). The meal was rather soupy. I would try 1 1/3 and let it sit for longer than recommended. You may even want to start lower and add more as needed. I bought one package as a trial run. I'll definitely by more.

Again research helps a lot when buying everything, including freeze dried foods! I never heard of MH til I saw a video on youtube about the guys doing a review on all of their foods. I went to their website, read everything about them, the reviews were outstanding & MH backed their products 100% so I gave it a shot, bought a few different ones, tried them & WOW I couldn't believe it, they tasted exactly like I would've made it myself & now I'm hooked on them! If your camping, rving, backpacking, emergencies or just don't feel like cooking, try these....just follow directions & let it sit for longer than what it says & wrap the pouch in a blanket or towel to keep it hotter. I let mine sit for 30 min so it wouldn't be crunchy, longer the better & yes it's still very hot when you open them!! I ❤️ these, happy w/my purchases, definitely will be buying again!! Highly recommend these to everyone, you won't be disappointed 👍

You've been hiking all day, hoisting yourself up over boulders and sweating your butt off. You are exhausted, battered and queasy - this is the meal you want. The flavor is delicious, the noodles are al dente but not hard, it has plenty of vegetables and it's pure comfort. Add a little extra boiling water and increase soaking time by 2-3 minutes, stirring extremely well halfway through. Add one of those packets of tuna and you have a wonderful, reasonably healthy and palatable backpacking meal. I'm a very picky, food-centric, farmers market shopping lady who doesn't enjoy most backpacking meals and I love this so much I'd eat it on a tired night at home.

My family uses these all the time for camping and backpacking trips. Taste good and easy to fix. Cost is a little high but quality.

Definitely tasted delicious and like all Mountain House meals, easy to make. I picked up a few of these on sale and opened one up to taste, and I was not disappointed. Really, the only downside is that the calorie count is slightly lower than other meals. However, it's not really much of a downside and allows you to mix things up a bit in your backpacker/survival foods pantry! I picked these up for 8.49 a pack but it seems like the price is back up on par with the other meals around $10 or so. Still worth getting!
