Easy cream pasta recipe using a plastic bag

Ingredients for easy cream pasta

・80g (2.82oz) macaroni (quick-boiled type)
・ 250ml (8.45us fl oz) water
・ 1 packet of cup soup (powder) ・ Black pepper, powdered cheese, dried parsley, etc. (as needed)

How to make a simple cream pasta

1. Put water and macaroni into a heat-resistant plastic bag (such as an air-wrap bag ) and tie it up with a little air in it. Tie it loosely so that it will be easy to untie later.


2. Place in a heat-resistant dish and transfer to a pot. Add water up to about half the height of the dish, cover, and bring to a boil.


3. After boiling, cook the macaroni over medium heat for the time indicated on the package.


4. Open the plastic bag and add the cup soup and mix. Season to taste with black pepper, grated cheese, dried parsley, etc.




By mixing the cup soup with a little of the boiled water remaining, it will naturally thicken and become like cream pasta. The flavor tends to be dull with just the cup soup, so we recommend adding spices and powdered cheese to give it more definition. It tends to become mushy and dumpling-like, so please consume it as soon as possible.


Water is a precious commodity in times of disaster, so you can use it efficiently, and if you eat it in a plastic bag, you can reduce the amount of dishes you have to wash. You can also reuse the water used for the hot water bath. It's difficult to create the delicious al dente taste, but why not try it out and think about what kind of meal you might have in an emergency?
