Camp stove variation: This recipe could also be prepared on a camp stove instead of on a campfire.
Leftovers: This pasta is delicious served cold the next day. (If you're using a cooler to chill your leftovers while camping, make sure to let the pasta cool down completely before putting it in with the ice.)
Salmon Alternatives: This recipe also works well with other cooked meats, such as already cooked shredded chicken. Canned fish or canned meat (such as canned smoked trout or canned chicken) will also work well. Omit fish or meat entirely for a meatless version.
