Pasta Primavera

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I took this out on a weekend backpacking loop and was blown away by the flavor. The veggies actually taste fresh, and the pasta holds its texture better than most freeze-dried meals I’ve had. It’s a great vegetarian option that still feels hearty after a long day on trail."

We’ve had our share of bland trail meals—but Backpacker's Pantry Pasta Primavera isn't one of them. This freeze-dried classic is built to satisfy, with firm imported pasta and spring vegetables that taste surprisingly fresh. After a long push to camp, it’s the kind of meal that makes us pause and savor the view, fork in one hand, mug of wine in the other.

It’s soy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian, making it a versatile option for a variety of diets. The whole package cooks right in the bag for easy cleanup, and the ten-year shelf life means it’s also a smart addition to our emergency stash. Whether we’re car camping or deep in the backcountry, this is the meal that gets passed around for one more bite.
