Have you discovered brown rice pasta yet? I did a few months ago and it was yet another one of those culinary life change moments. It is now my go to in a pinch or for those moments when I get home starving and nearly shacking from lack of food when even the paper towl looks moderatly appetizing. You know those moments when you are too hungry to cook, especially to plan something healthy and good. During those times I boil some organic brown rice pasta fusilli from trader joes ($1.99! bargain!) and toss it with some eggs and of-course some olive oil! I dont know if this sounds weird for some but to me its pure comfort food. It takes me back to my childhood days when all i would it is “macaroni and eggs” day in and day out. This is a healthier version of my childhood favorite and it is sooo good (i am enjoying it right now) You should try it some time.
But I’ve strayed from the point I wanted to make which is you should go and get some organic brown rice pasta asap for your pantry. As we all know pasta is incredibly versatile, however the wheat gluten is a real problem for a lot of people. Plus, we avoid wheat/gluten products on our eating plan and we happily enjoy a ton of gluten free foods.
Like I said the possibilities are endless with this pasta. Toss it with fresh diced tomatoes (hmm summer tomatoes from the garden would be incredible!) a little salt and plenty of good olive oil or add in some of your favorite veggies like asparagus and baby broccoli and you’ve got a bowl of nutrition! I would love to find more ways of enjoying this nutritious treat. BTW a serving has 3 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein and is perfectly gluten free.
