This Backpacking Meal Will Blow Your Mind!

We love the real-time edification on the use of the powdered eggs in the pasta water, you are so authentic!

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers B!

Thanks Chef!! This video got me out of my chair, reading the dehydrator manual, and excited to start making healthy food for when I'm out on the trail and even working remotely this year. Keep up the great work! Love the positive energy!

[@ChefCorso]

giddy up!

I remember watching this one when I first discovered your channel. I’ve been to that creek many times. Olive oil seems like a good addition. If I was making this on the first day of a backpacking trip, I think I might opt for pancetta and fresh ground black pepper. Trader Joe’s has an Italian four cheese blend my family and I have been into lately. They also have a nice chicken Italian sausage that if frozen would transport quite well on a cooler month hike. Keep on cooking 🧑‍🍳

love all of what you said here. And I love that creek in the Staircase area. It's like fern gully in there!

Thanks chef, that is the nearest to a proper carbonara without Guanciale, that I have seen and well worth trying. Thanks the limey

[@ChefCorso]

cheers! If I was making a classic Carb, I would absolutely use guanciale but the bacon is a great outdoor hack to get the close flavor

Another way to make this meal even faster is to use some Barilla Ready Pasta. In Walmart you can only get it in penne and rotini, but it works just fine. I prefer the rotini. Just add some water, toss in the pasta to heat up, then add the rest. You can get it done in like 2-3 minutes! And thanks, Chef, for all that you've done to bring great recipes to us all. I'd still love to collab sometime!

great mod!

Yum. So deciddd to rehydrate my eggs first w pepper and garlic powder . Then. I added them back at the end . This kept them from making my pasta slimy . Also loved using precooked bacon for this recipe .

[@ChefCorso]

Love the mod!

[@alexygoat8440]

@ 1- I saved the rehhdrsted eggs in a tiny piece of foil. Added them back at the end , and they weren’t cold . 2- fave lightweight backpacking skillet ? Ever used a pie tin ?? Im reaching here …….

[@ChefCorso]

@ I don't pack a skillet often, but jetboil has nice one that is nonstick. Haven't tried the pie tin. I'm sure it would work but it would get pretty sticky/messy

Thanks for the recipe Chef! I'm going to try with ramen noodles (no ramen seasoning packet) and experiment with couscous. The couscous mainly because I like the name couscous carbonara. lol

[@ChefCorso]

love it and Im sure this is going to be great with other carbs. also love a good alliteration, ha

[@renob98362]

That looks so good. I just ate, but now I'm hungry again.

[@ChefCorso]

I'm here for you, ha

[@compassionsix]

Looks amazing. I’m going to try to replicate tomorrow with vegan jerky and fake eggs.

[@ChefCorso]

get it!

[@stephengordon4081]

Are you using freeze dried eggs or regular powdered eggs?

[@ChefCorso]

Just powdered but can work with either
