Step aside ramen noodles.
Whether nourishment for that all-nighter or comfort food for the home-sick, flavorful fare can be a welcome change of pace from spoonfuls of peanut butter and microwave popcorn.
If you, or someone you know, are heading to college, tuck these recipes in the duffle bag.
Nachos (of course)

One tortilla
4 pieces of bacon
4 pieces of American cheese

Fettucini Alfredo
Fettucini noodles
8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup milk
