Alright well let's shed our pretenses and do some real talk.

1. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
2. Put whatever frozen veggies you want to in there. Corn and peas are the best. Wait till the water is boiling again.
3. Add pasta, and/or a lot of fresh spinach, and/or mushrooms either canned or fresh. This is typically the part where I'm getting rid of things in my fridge that are on the brink of being thrown out.
4. Boil this on medium heat for 7 minutes. Less if you want your mac to be more "al dente."
5. Remove the pot from the heat and strain the noodles & veggies.
6. Add a good scoop of margarine and a good scoop of Cheese Whiz. Let those melt and mix them in before adding the powder packet. Keep in mind that the veggies have increased the volume of your meal so that's why a bit more margarine than you would normally.
7. Once it's all mixed together, open a can of tuna and mix that in. Not too much, you don't want the tuna to dry out the pasta too badly.
8. Add some pepper. Mix that in too.
9. Now it's time to really make it wonderful. Add bacon bits and mix those in.

And voila. This will easily give you two meals even if you're a fatass that normally eats a box to himself. If you're going to be storing it and finishing it later, though, don't add the bacon bits because those get soggy if you leave them in. No culinary skill involved and no fresh ingredients needed either.

This is the best, OP. And the brand really makes a difference. Lived in Korea for a year and ate this stuff for a month when I was unemployed. Other noodles you're just eating fucking rubberized flour but Shin has the best noodles.

It will fill you up more if you add a cup of rice. But don't let that stop you from getting creative. Corn goes well in it too. If you want to treat yourself, a can of tuna. Oh and hot sauce, add hot sauce to it and it will fucking sing.

If you can't find Shin then go to an Asian grocer and it'll be there.
