Tuna Casserole Mix

1/2 lb. noodles flat egg noodles (or your choice)
2 T. dried peas (can use split peas)
2 T. Parmesan cheese
1/2 t. dried tarragon
1/4 t. white pepper
Salt to taste
1 can tuna
3 cups water

Before leaving home or base camp, place noodles in a sealed container, then mix all ingredients -- except tuna and water -- and place in a durable plastic bag, within the noodle container.

When ready to cook, add 3 cups water to a small pot, and bring to boil. Add noodles and boil till tender (10-20 minutes, depending on your elevation and noodle size).

Drain most of excess water, and add dry ingredients to pot, stirring well. Add a little more water as necessary. Open and drain tuna, then add to noodle casserole, continuing to stir while heating under low heat 5 more minutes.
