pasta – Holly's Gluten Free Home

It’s October … officially pumpkin can be put in as many dishes as possible month!

I saw as I walked through the living room on my way to gather more laundry (never ends..) a pumpkin lasagna on the Today Show. Sounded so good! So I decided to try to dish this up gluten free and vegetarian!

The end result was a perfectly blended fusion of fall flavors.. vitamin packed goodness.

Step 1- boil up some al dente gluten free penne pasta

Step2-the sauce

Sauté 1T of chopped garlic &

1 yellow onion in

2T olive oil

Add the chopped stems of 4 large kale leaves &

1t thyme

Once simmered down, add one can pumpkin purée and 1/2 can water

Salt and pepper

1 t Bombay curry

Simmer until smooth and thickened

Step 3- the filling

Mix 1 8oz container of ricotta

2 eggs

4 kale leaves chopped

1/4 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Nutmeg

Step 4- layer it up!

Layer penne then ricotta mix, a handful of mozzarella, then the sauce

Repeat!

Bake at 325 for 45 mins covered

Enjoy!

I’m back at the hospital dealing with some emergencies, but luckily, I made it home to prepare and eat a great dinner and now I’m sure happy I did!

Tonight I’m making fast and easy Baked Ziti- but sans ricotta because for some reason my kids don’t like ricotta… But they do like bread, so I’m making a loaf of gluten free bread too!! Yum!

First- start the bread! It can rise while you assemble the pasta and then you can cook together!

Gluten free Easy Cheesy Bread

Mix in mixer 1c warm water

1 pkg yeast

2 T sugar

2T olive oil

1tsp apple cider vinegar

1 egg

Add 1 tsp salt

3 1/4 -3 1/2 gluten free flour mix (I used Pamelas)

1/2 c Parmesan

Mix well until it looks like the consistency shown below.

looking good!

Turn out onto greased sheet and shape with oiled hands into a loaf and cover with more Parmesan cheese and Saran Wrap. Let rise for 15 mins and then cook for 30-35 mins at 350.

oil your hands before working with gluten free dough…

Serve with seasoned olive oil. My able to eat gluten children devoured this bread!

yummy gluten free cheesy bread!

Baked Ziti

Boil 1 box gluten free penne pasta (I used Ronzoni’s) for 8 mins, drain and mix with sauce

Sauce

1 onion

1 T chopped garlic

1 cup shredded carrots (that’s right! Sneak those veggies in!!)

1/2 c chopped sweet peppers

1T italien seasonings

1T chipotle pepper sauce

Cook in 1 T olive oil until tender

Mix In 1 jar prepared pasta sauce if you are in a hurry (and tonight that’s what I did) or if you are having a relaxing evening, add a box of Pom chopped tomatoes, I T sugar, 1 t salt, maybe a splash of red wine… One for you …one for the sauce …

the sweet peppers really make this sauce a winner

Mix the sauce with the pasta

Place half of the sauced pasta (hopefully only the pasta is sauced at this point) in a casserole dish cover with mozzarella cheese, repeat second layer and then sprinkle Parmesan on the top.
