In reply to Kit Cummings. Kit, making a leather by drying the sauce sounds great. My grandma used to make apricot fruit leather every year and it was absolutely delicious. Your idea of doing leather with the sauce is great. I'd love to do some tips for backpackers or cross country skiers --do you have others? I'd love to pursuit that with you if you do (maybe an interview, or you could write a guest post for Outdoor Cooking Magic).

In reply to Tom. Tom, I was on a gas grill, but you could definitely do the same on a charcoal grill. You might have to lower the grill or raise the coals to generate enough heat to get the cast iron pan going. And soaking some wood chips and throwing on the hot coals would definitely work then.

In reply to Rick Curran. Rick--thanks for your comments. The spaghetti was very tasty and the crumbles tasted great.

I have often used the crumbles in my spaghetti sauce. The wife is a somewhat vegetarian and the crumbles work fine for her. I also like using a can of tomatoes as the base for the sauce. Much better than a bottle of prepared spaghetti sauce and far less calories. I usually go out to the garden for a few basil leaves and cut them up with scissors. It is easy and doesn’t take much time. I cook a box of spaghetti and put half in the freezer.

It makes a nice meal for 4 people.

That spaghetti sauce looks delicious! I was wondering if you are cooking on a gas grill? If so then is this possible on a charcoal grill? Because then I could just soak some wood chips and throw on the hot coals.

I made spagetti while cross country skiing. In upstae New York. I made the sauce and dried it in the manner of fruit leather. I pre cooked the pasta and Italian sausage and froze it. On the trail I melted enough snow to rehydrate the sauce, added the pasta & sausage and enjoyed!
