Itsu Noodle Pot

I'm always looking for things to make life easier and when you on a shoot with nothing but a kettle or your out of the house all day you don't want to get caught snacking, especially with a wedding dress to fit into soon so when i popped into waitrose and saw these noodle pots i knew i had to try them.

I've just been introduced to fresh egg noodles and gnocchi which i never thought i'd like and i loved so i thought Udon noodles were worth a try.

So the pot consists of noodles, a paste and a packet of dried courgette and tomatoe and other than hot water it's everything you need :)

So you put the noodles into the pot, add the paste and the dried veggies and voila, add your water to the fill line and your done.

It didn't look like much and i didn't hold out hopes but after a little stir and 3 minutes for the veggies to soften it was yummy! It was like spicy tomato soup but with the noodles made it filling without it being too fattening and i wasn't hungry again for ages so it's definitely better than a sarnie and a packet of crisps which is normally my shoot lunch.

So the next time your passing waitrose pop in and have a look at what they have to offer, they do some great pasta and fruit pots aswell as meal kits for quick and healthy meal ideas.

Waitrose is a win for me :) (albeit it an occasional and expensive one)
