Wait until you learn about food dehydrators. You can dehyrdate just about anything, things like pasta and chili do well. Sometimes you need to separate the ingediants, sometimes you don't.
Just add hot/boiling water and let it soak. Boom, you're eating homemade chicken fettuccine in the middle of the woods miles from civilization on a backpacking trip.
That's just instant noodles with extra steps.
Add peanut butter and tuna to your ramen. Trust me. (Chicken flavor is the best, and the chipolte tuna is the best)

If you put boiled spaghetti in a tumble drier you extract the moisture and they dry out again so you can save it for later. If you're not in a rush you can hang every individual spaghett to dry, they become straight when dried and they'll even fit back in the original packs!
