Just watched a video on a cooking technique for making a pasta dish without cooking the pasta in a pot of boiling water.
When every quart of water counts for more time out boondocking or even just because it is a great cooking techique the video might be worth watching.From the youtube channel "Jacob Burton"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFr1A-kj3lwThe method of cooking is not difficult but it does require being at the stove working on the dish while it is cooking.
The first step is using the skillet to cook the onions, garlic, mushrooms or whatever else you want for the dish. You can at the end of that step add some wine and then reduce that while deglazing the skillet at the same time.
When that is finished cooking you add the dry pasta to the skillet then just cover it with liquid.
The liquid you add will be a stock be it chicken, beef or vegatable. Keep stirring it so that nothing sticks or burns.
If needed add a little more liquid as needed but the goal is towards the end to have most of the liquid condensed to create a thick, but not soupy, coating on all the pasta.
The video shows how the finished dish looks right at the beginning for those with limited band width who can't watch a whole video.
I can tell I will be making many such pasta dishes in my RV life in the future. It is a nice, inexpensive, great tasting meal as well as being a water conserving method of cooking.
