Angel Hair Pasta with Arugula and Prosciutto

Angel Hair Pasta with Arugula and Prosciutto

This could be one you save for a special occasion. On the other hand, it is so good you may want to make it on every trip. Either way, the presence of fresh arugula, parmesan and pine nuts will definitely cement your reputation as the backcountry gourmet chef among your backpacking friends.

PRO TIP #1: have them bring the wine in a Pack Tap.

PRO TIP #2: X-Cups, X-Mugs and X-Bowls have graded measurements molded into the inside surfaces. Delta Spoons are exactly 1 tablespoon.

1 cup/250ml = 1 X-Cup 1 tbsp/15ml = 1 Delta Spoon
2 cups/500ml = 1 X-Mug 3 tsp = 1 Delta Spoon
