Cypressa Just add to pasta

Hi, Has anyone tried any of this, It is in little cellophane bags, various varieties.
I bought lots of them, reduced down to 3p from £1.11, I made up the recipes suggested on the back of the packet, but didn't really enjoy it.
I dont waste to waste them, originally I thought they would be great to take camping for an easy meal, but unless find a nicer way to use them, they will probably stay in the cupboard .
Cheers

Loobyloo2, what are the ingredients of the packets? #Do they have an expiry date?

If I know what they contain I might be able to suggest alternatives (or some other OSer will as well of course!).

Ok, I have 3 different varieties

Boscaiola sundried mixed veg with wild mushrooms
(aubergine,tomatoes,cardoncelli and porcini mushrooms,garlic and parsley)
Recipe for this is rehydrated pack with cream and tagliatelle

Arrabbiata sundried mixed veg with chilli
(tomatos, aubergine, courgette,chilli, basil
Recipe for this one rehydrate and add olive oil, tin tomatoes with penne
this one is exceptionally hot!

Agio Olio and Peperoncino chilli, garlic and parsley
(ingredients as above)
Recipe is lightly fry in olive oil add spaghetti and serve with parmesan.

They just taste a bit too dried for my liking, I only usually eat fresh!
If all else fails, I will either use them for marinades or sling them in a bottle of olive oil for dipping oil.
