Ingredients: enriched spaghetti (durum semolina, niacin, iron [ferrous sulfate], thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), tomato paste, beef, and contains 1.5% or less of the following: textured soy flour, salt, sugar, dehydrated cheese (cheddar cheese [milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes], cream, salt, sodium phosphate, lactic acid), hydrolyzed corn torula and brewers yeast wheat gluten soy protein, spices, onion powder, flavoring, garlic powder, soybean oil, and caramel color. Allergens: wheat, soy, milk, sulfites and yellow No. 5 Review: Perfect choice for emergency food supply - Bottom line up front: This type of food is a great choice for an emergency food supply, especially for sheltering in place or evacuating by vehicle. The #10 cans have a 25-year shelf life, so you can buy them and not worry about rotating your stock for a couple of decades. The biggest downside is that once opened, they need to be used up right away. SHELF LIFE - The #10 cans have a 25-year shelf life (unopened). The biggest downside to #10 cans versus individual pouches is that the 25-year shelf life turns into a 1-week shelf life once they've been opened. Since each can has enough for 10 servings, you'll be eating the same thing for several meals unless you're cooking for a group. TASTE - In my experience, Mountain House food is really tasty. Let me caveat this review by saying that although I've eaten other Mountain House freeze-dried food, I haven't had occasion to open the ones in the #10 cans (see my review of the "Mountain House 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kit"). That having been said, the Mountain House food I have tried has been very, very good tasting -- not just good compared to other survival foods, but good period. I have no reason to expect that these would be any different. WEIGHT/CONVENIENCE - As steel cans, they're reasonably durable and reasonably lightweight (not backpacking light, but you don't have to be a weightlifter to move a large box of them). They do take up a bit of volume, but since the overwhelming majority of long-term emergency scenarios involve sheltering in place or evacuating by vehicle, I wouldn't let that be a deal breaker (personnally, I have a stock of individual pouches just in case I have to leave on foot, but most of my food is in these cans). CALORIES - The problem with most freeze-dried emergency food is that a so-called "serving" has too few calories to meet an adult's energy requirements (2500 a day for men; 2000 a day for women -- more with heavy exertion), so you end up consuming more than you planned. These are no different. So even though a typical can ostensibly contains 10 1-cup servings, you really need to eat two servings per meal to get enough calories to survive -- perhaps more. Plan your purchase accordingly. Review: Kids will go camping for this! - Seriously, our kids love camping, but the MH spaghetti (and Mac&Cheese) is one of the main things they are looking forward in any camping trip! It is freeze-dried food, so it will not look like, or taste exactly like an Italian restaurant or home-made version, but it is quite palatable. Kids love this, adults like this. Easy to make, less clean up, used pouch can be used as a trash collector. The hardest part is the wait - with most freeze-dried meals, I increase the "cooking" time, and definitely stir once through the process, while hungry children are circling me and the pouch like sharks closing in... They do this to the MH Mac&Cheese, too (toss some chopped and cooked hot dogs into that, before serving!). I learned to bring double what I think they will eat, or nothing will be left for me. Tip: use reusable plates, something other than paper, and spoons are easier - as the sauce may be a little runny, and the pasta is in small bits for better cooking, not a twist-onto-fork kind of length. ## Features - Tender Spaghetti pasta with chunks of beef in a rich marinara sauce. - Just Add Water.

You will never mistake it for real spaghetti, but as trail food goes it is really good. Note that while you can re-hydrate it in the bag, we normally put several bags into a pot. That allows us to heat it a bit more if we need to, and it makes it easier to get it fully re-hydrated. It means you have another pot to clean, but it ensures better quality food preparation. For a larger group, it is worth it, since you probably need to dirty your pot to do dishes anyway. We typically take a 2.5 serving bag for 2 people and add a small side like cookies. On the last trip we had 5 people, so we carried 3 bags, but we only made 2. With some cookies, there was enough. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mountain House Classic Spaghetti with Meat Sauce | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food - Mountain House Beef Stroganoff with Noodles | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2102201-mountain-house-classic-spaghetti-with-meat-sauce-freeze-dried-backpacking](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2102201-mountain-house-classic-spaghetti-with-meat-sauce-freeze-dried-backpacking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
