three recipes included
Ever run into a “repeat meal rut”? The kind where you just don’t have it in you to give that extra push for something new to create? Well friend, here’s a jet pack outa there.
I’ve even included 3 gluten free vegetarian pasta recipes that, from a cost per Calorie basis, earn an “A grade” … Hello affordable and easy Mediterranean. Read on for a link to our keto breadsticks recipe.
7 easy ways out of the pasta rut…
- Make it Fresh: cook the noodles al dente (less time) and then add finely chopped raw veggies. Serve it cold with regular balsamic and you’ve got a fancy salad for the main.
- Add Pesto Sauce (a little goes a long way!). Cutting calories but want the flavor? Puree some fresh basil! This is also a yummy swap-out for the cheese on the toasted bread.
- Pizza Pasta: add your favorite red sauce and toss with your favorite cheese & “toppings”. (Tomatoes are Not Lectin Free)
- Combo: Mix Lentil and Garbanzo noodles together, or experiment with different noodle shapes!
- Switch Up your olives and use a different kind of cheese
- Kalamata Olives + Trader Joe’s Creamy Syrah Toscano // Black Olives + Smoked Gouda // Green Olives + Sharp Cheddar // new olives + new cheese …
- Casserole-It: cook your noodles a little longer, mix ingredients together, top with cheese and gluten-free bread crumbs and bake it! 350°F for 25 minutes covered + 5 minutes uncovered. (A life-saver for overcooked noodles!)
- Pasta Bar! Separate ingredients into different bowls, maybe include a few extra toppings and “build your own pasta”! If your kids are old enough to grate cheese, pass the cheese grater around the table and take a load off.
