    HEALTHY PASTAS MADE OF QUINOA, BROWN RICE OR CHICKPEAS!

    ​​​​​​​We all love pasta but we also know it is not something we can have daily. What if we could find a healthier option for pasta? what about a spaguetti made our of quinoa and brown rice? or some fusilli made out or chickpeas?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Leave apart the wheat pasta and start cooking with more nutritious options for pastas. I have being using the Brown rice and quinoa pasta for a while and my kids can’t even tell they are not eating the traditional pasta. When they ask for another bowl of chickpeas spaghetti I am all in to refill those bowls.

    You can easily find the chickpeas pasta in the brand BANZA and my fav is the Brown Rice and Quinoa Gluten Free pasta from ALDI, it is afordable and you find it as LiveGFree so this is also a great option for gluten intolerant people.

    The secret for the most delicious spaguetti or any pasta in tomato sauce is definitly the TOMATO SAUCE

    INGREDIENTS FOR HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE

    • 400 gr o 1 pound of tomato
    • 1 tea spoon Italian herbs (they sale it like that. If you don’t have you can use basil, oregano, rosemary)
    • 1 carrot
    • 1/2 stick of celery
    • 1 garlic clove
    • 2 spoons of olive oil
    • 3 spoons of parmesan cheese
    • 1 package of pasta
    You can use chickpeas pasta for a healthier option

    HOW TO MAKE TOMATO SAUCE FROM FRESH TOMATO STEP BY STEP

    1. Cut the carrot into pieces and cook in boiling water for two minutes
    2. Add the celery and tomatoes to the water. Cover and let all boil for 7 minutes.
    3. Set water to boil in a pot and once is bubble in add the pasta. Follow the instructions from the pasta box. My experience with brown rice and quinoa pasta is that it takes a little more to cook than wheat pasta. The chickpeas pasta cooks much faster.
    4. Once the pasta is al dente get rid of the water and put the pasta back in the pot.
    5. Blend the vegetables along with the garlic until you have a smooth sauce.
    6. In a pan drop 2 spoons of olive oil. Let it warm up and then add the salsa and the Italian herbs along with salt to taste. Let it boil for 3 minutes.
    7. Add the sauce to the pasta, mix and the add the Parmesan cheese and mix again.
    8. Your pasta is ready to be serve.
