This looks really good.  2 questions-(1) is it asking for a 28oz can of tomatoes?  Crushed or whole?  (2) are the tomatoes drained?  I am guessing no because of having to cook the noodles in the pot.  

Thank you for the recipe.  This would be a fast and easy camping recipe.

Sorry I really don't know, This is how the recipe was given to me and I haven't tried it yet.  I would agree that you need the liquid from the tomatoes for the noodles.  I would also assume that it is the 28oz can.  However, if you are not fond of tomatoes, maybe you could adjust the recipe for a smaller can and check on periodically and add water as needed.
 
I use the type of tomatoes that best suites you taste.  I ususally used crushed as the DD's don't realize that I have used tomatoes.  They do not like tomatoes, but love ketchup and as long as they don't see the tomatoes, it's OK.:rolleyes:

Thank you, I will give it a try and let you know.  My kids don't mind tomatoes but I will try it with a 28 oz crushed and see what happens

I have made a similar recipe and used different types of canned tomatoes.  I think the crushed tomatoes work the best.
