This hearty, gluten-free, Italian camping pasta is delicious and surprisingly easy to make on a camping stove or over a fire pit. The rich, creamy sauce comes from coconut milk and tomato paste, while gluten-free cassava pasta and red beans make this a filling, satisfying dish – perfect for those chilly nights by the campfire.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 teaspoon cooking oil (we prefer avocado oil)
  • 1/2 leek stalk (white part only)
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 12 oz can tomato paste
  • 12 oz can red kidney beans, drained
  • 1 cup chopped basil leaves
  • 1/2 of 12 oz can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2/3 cup cassava pasta
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (optional: if cooking dry pasta in the same pan)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the leek until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. To speed up the process in the meantime, cook cassava pasta in boiling water in a separate pot for 11 minutes.
  3. Toss in the quartered cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste and let it heat through. Then, add the coconut milk and stir to combine.
  5. Mix in the red kidney beans and cooked cassava pasta. Cook everything together for another 5-10 minutes.
  6. Stir in the chopped basil just before serving, and top with a handful of grated Parmesan.
