Chicken and Mushroom Pasta - No Cook

I have a few longggg days of work coming up, and realised in annoyance that I don't have much in the house for meals if I need to eat them out of the house. Salad is great, but after 13 hours with only a salad and some snacks, I would probably have ended up a heap on the floor.

It wasn't this pretty, but was still delish
So here's a recipe I threw together. It serves four and is rather nice.

1 can of chicken & mushroom soup (if it's the condensed kind, add the liquids as stated on the tin, then use half in this recipe and put half in the fridge for another time)
1 can of canned carrots
about 200g dry spaghetti
3 cooked chicken breasts, shredded

Shred the chicken.
Drain the carrots and fill the tin back up with boiling water. Leave to sit.
Break the spaghetti into small pieces, place in a container or saucepan, add a pinch of salt and cover with boiling water. Stir, cover and stir again after five minutes. Leave to sit ten minutes. There is no need to cook or heat at this point, just let the boiling water do the job.
Drain the pasta and carrots and mix everything together. Heat the whole lot in the microwave or saucepan until the mix is hot, but not boiling. Stir regularly.

Enjoy. Cost per serving is around 75p if you use fresh steamed carrots.

You could of course use a tin of spam or different vegetables. You can make this without cooking if you have a kettle and swap the tin of soup for 2 packs of soup in a cup plus 300mL boiling water.
