It's not exactly a traditional pasta sauce, but if you take dehydrated
portobello mushrooms, soak them a couple hours in water (you can do it
in a
Nalgene as you approach camp), you have a good start. Drain the
mushrooms into a cup, squeezing gently. Sautee onions (if using
fresh), and fresh garlic in a little olive oil. Add mushrooms, sautee
for a while. Pour in mushroom broth and add dehydrated (or sun-dried)
tomatoes and onion (if using dried). Add a bit of salt, some thyme
if you have it, maybe some rosemary or something and cook to reduce
the broth. If you wanna be really fancy, mix a bit of flour (a
teaspoon, max) with cold water and pour into the sauce to thicken it.
