Or cannibalism à la Franklin

Just don't bring the type of canned food they brought on the Franklin Expedition

Aldi's Tortelloni Pasta vacuum packed trays, there's a variety, three cheeses, ham, spinach & ricotta etc, just boil for 6 minutes. Add a sauce such as tin of tomato soup or cheese sauce granules, pepper etc. Trays last quite a few months and serves two.
e.g. Tortelloni Spinach & Ricotta

That looks tasty, but can it definitely be stored at room temperature? The linked webpage is remarkably unenlightening.

Much prepacked pasta like that is stored in an inert environment, such as nitrogen. So keeps between 2 weeks and a year depending on method. When buying stores for boat or van I check the best before by more assiduously than if just for supper

I bought (online) ten packs of dried Barilla four-cheese tortellini late last year. I have happy memories of buying them at a French supermarket and eating them from the packet, driving home.

Unfortunately the expiry date (which I tend to treat as pretty flexible for dried foods) is far longer than the product deserved...

...I opened a packet over the weekend and there was no hint of cheese flavour remaining. Now I have nine packs that will need large quantities of pesto and cheddar added to make it palatable. But I'll make it work.
