Gluten free veggie pasta

All the veggies..

With all the noodles!

I love salads! I love pasta salads even more! Even more than that, I love pasta dishes made into salads because they’re packed with so many veggies, raw and sautéed!

Here are some of my favorite foods to throw into a pasta with a little lime juice or lemon juice squeezed over top!

YUM!!

Chickpea pasta is one of my favorite staples because it is easy, filling and a favorite for everyone! I like chickpea pasta better than rice/quinoa mixed pastas because I am learning that some of these products are cross contaminated with gluten. I am super sensitive and pick up on even the slightest contamination in my diet. I have noticed some flare symptoms with eating quinoa or rice based pastas. I know, I know, it feels like “shoot what can I eat then?!” Here is my rule of thumb, clean up your diet to a stable baseline you feel great at. Then try out the different kind of pastas individually, separated by a few days, then see how you feel.

TO MAKE THIS DISH..

Ingredients:

  • Gluten free pasta (1-2 boxes)

  • 1 Onion

  • 3-6 Cloves of Garlic

  • Tomato (3-4 roma, 1-2 c cherry/grape)

  • Aspragus (half bundle)

  • Mushrooms, if desired

  • Artichoke Hearts (in water)

  • Lemons 1-2

  • Spinach 1-2 c

  • Basil

    Directions:

    -Boil the pasta then rinse in COOL water. Set aside.

    -While the pasta is still warm mix 1-2 c spinach in with noodles. The heat will help soften the spinach without cooking it, preserving its raw enzyme properties.

    -Chop raw onion (1/2), garlic(1-3 cloves), 3-4 roma tomatoes. Mix together. The tomato juice helps bring these flavors together. Set aside.

    -Rinse artichoke hearts to wash away any salt or preservatives they were stored in. Add to pasta.
    -Sautee asparagus and mushrooms if you would like here. Rinse with cool water. Add to pasta.

For the sauce:

-Sautee in water cherry or grape tomatoes, garlic (1-3 cloves) and onion (1/2)

-Add ingredients above to blender. Add in fresh basil. Blend on high for 1 minute.

To serve:

-Partition pasta in bowl. Squeeze lemon juice on top. Then add sauce!

Viola.

Healing + DELICIOUS.

For the meat lovers in your family you could add in turkey bacon or rosemary roasted chicken would make a good compliment to this dish!
