gluten free rotini bake
One of my favorite dinners as a child was my mom’s Spaghetti and Meatballs. Holy heaven. I just remember going back for seconds and thirds.
Now that I choose to eat gluten free, most noodles are made with white or wheat flour, which is not GF. I recently discovered that there are many options for us gluten free eaters. There’s brown rice noodles, plain white rice noodles, and then there’s quinoa noodles. All delicious and easy options. The nice thing is, you can get them at Trader Joe’s, your local grocery store, or even Target.
Hello Gluten Free Rotini Bake, sister of my Healthified Baked Ziti.
I topped mine with some veggies that I got pre chopped at TJ’s. Then I roasted them at about 400 for 20-25 minutes with EVOO, salt, and pepper. Adds color and nutrients!
Ingredients for gluten free rotini bake
- brown rice rotini
- ground turkey
- spaghetti sauce
- cottage cheese
I love this meal because there is always leftovers! I just package a serving up and I have lunch for the next few days.
Fact: I always always eat my leftovers cold. I NEVER reheat.
Enlighten me, do you reheat your leftovers? BE HONEST.
