Instructions: Ramen noodles are ridiculously high in sodium and fat, and ounce-for-ounce, compared to regular pasta, arent much of a nutritional or economic bargain. But damn, theyre so good, who cares if its the equivalent of six hours at a salt lick.

1. boil fresh mushrooms with the noodles, then toss with the mushroom flavor packet. simple and delicious.

2. use a packet of ramen (just the noodles) to stretch out a box of kraft macaroni and cheese.

3. cook ziti or other traditional pasta and toss with the ramen flavoring packet, chicken breast chunks and broccoli.

Note: Ramenmasters note: This guy wrote three short recipes, but thats okay. Also, this guy has a roommate who refers to Ramen as "Roman noodles", and has seen an ad where someone filled the back of a small pickup truck with $60 worth of Ramen. Cool huh.
