If you love Italian food get the Mountain House Lasagna. This spaghetti tastes like Spaghetti O's. Edible but not enjoyable.

I was disappointed because I love their chili mac & lasagna and egg breakfasts.

I've had a lot of Mountain House meals and out of the ones I've tried this one tastes the best, but I haven't tried all of them so there could be a better one.

These meals are really light and way easy to make and it doesn't take all your time to make. If you want to eat it for lunch just pull of the trail, boil some water, mix it up and you can eat it on the go.

The only easier backpacking meals I've had are MRE's.

This spaghetti and meat sauce entree was good. The tomato flavor came through more than it would with a canned meal, and there was more beef. 

I used 12 ounces of water instead of 16, because I saw some reviews on another site that the meal was soupy.  With 12 ounces it was good. I should have stirred more because there were a couple of pockets in the corner that did not absorb enough water and stayed crunchy. 

And, as with all commercial freeze-dried meals, it was very salty (this is why I gave it 4 stars, not 5). 

But very convenient and satisfied my craving for spaghetti on the trail.

My son and I tried it on a short hike, we enjoyed it. It is quite tasty and very easy to make. A lot better than Top Ramen.
