[pct-l] dehydrating spaghetti sauce

[Louise Wholey]

The dehydration of spaghetti sauce is easy.  Pour 1 cup of a good quality sauce, such as comes in jars, onto a fruit leather  tray.  Dry at medium heat for 24 hours.  Peel it off the plastic tray - the hardest part - requires finger nails.  The usual jar has 3 cups of sauce.

One cup of sauce is good for 1/4 pound of dry spaghetti and serves two people.  I usually also dehydrate 1 pound (a lot!) of ground beef precooked with onions, which takes 8 hours to dry at high (150 F) heat.  Add the meat to the spaghetti when rehydrating (cooking) it.  Other tasty additions are dried green beans (easy to dry frozen ones) and/or Trader Joe's dried mushrooms.
