Steps
Prepare a clean quart-sized glass jar for assembly.

Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to act as a thickener for the sauce.
Add 2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder.
Add the herbs and spices: 2 teaspoons of dried parsley, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Break the fettuccine noodles into approximately 2-inch pieces and place them on top of the powder mixture, filling the rest of the jar.
Vacuum seal the lid onto the jar to maintain freshness for long-term storage.
Label the jar with the name of the recipe and the date it was prepared.
Notes
To cook: The creator suggests printing directions for the back of the jar. Typically, for this type of mix, you would add the contents to approximately 2 cups of boiling water, stir, and simmer until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.
