    Embracing a gluten-free lifestyle is synonymous with pasta-free diet. Right? Wrong! The supermarket has come a long way since I decided to eliminate gluten from my diet six years ago. Gone are the days of pasta or no pasta.  The store shelves are filled with a variety of gluten free pastas to meet everyone's needs.

    You still have to read the ingredients of the gluten free pastas to make sure they don't contain any fillers or nasties. Also, because many gluten free products contain corn, always look for the non-GMO verified label since corn is often GMO.

    Enjoying gluten free pasta!

    Pasta is essentially flour rubbed in with eggs. There are many variations and flavorings that are often added to pasta to spice up your dish. Spinach is often added to create green pasta while red beets make for a deep red hue.

    Traditionally, pasta is made with an ancient wheat variety such as einkorn. Currently, gluten free pastas are made with everything from chickpeas to cassava flour to edamame. My favorite pasta is THIS brand made with quinoa, amaranth, brown rice and corn. Penne pasta works just as well in this dish.

    I love that you can get a hearty helping of wild tuna in your dinner. I love to stock up on canned wild tuna (THIS is my favorite brand) when it goes on sale at my local Costco.  It's a great source of protein and much more reasonably priced than wild fresh seafood.  Canned tuna is one of those foods that is great to have on hand for 5 o'clock emergencies.

    This Creamy Tuna Pasta is conveniently made in one pan with gut-healing bone broth and garden fresh Swiss Chard. You can replace the chard with spinach or kale if that's more readily available to you.

    The zest and tartness of lemon adds a flavorful dimension to this dish and compliments the parmesan well. Just be sure to save some parm for garnish. 🙂
