Gluten Free Sausage Pizza Pasta
Guys. This dish is so easy you’re going to scream for joy! All you really need are 4 simple ingredients: brown rice noodles (or normal noodles if you aren’t a GFer), diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and Italian sausage.
The spices and vino give added flavor, but if you don’t have them it’s not the end of the world because the Italian sausage has so much flavor it’s like sausage pizza in pasta form.
This reminds me of my Grandma Marie. She is a pizza making machine…and sausage has always been a favorite of mine! Simple ingredients make the best of dishes and that’s exactly what this is!
I wasn’t going to add cheese….but what’s a pizza without cheese? Plus- Grandma would insist!
The more mozzarella the better.
TJ’s makes a new Gluten Free Rice based pasta with quinoa in it. I swear you can not tell a difference between this gfree pasta and normal gluten-filled pasta.
The italian sausage I got from a local indoor farmer’s market in Solon, OH called Miles Market. They had lots of great organic produce and a pretty big meat section! Love shopping local.

Back to the pasta. For the sauce I used two main pizza sauce ingredients: diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. My mom had some red vino opened, so a drip of that went into it as well!
gul gul gul gul gul (that’s the noise the wine made, hehe)
Okay this stuff is just as good, if not better, reheated. I am a HUGE fan of leftovers, especially Italian leftovers so DO NOT throw away your extra pasta. Stick it in a tupperware for the next days lunch or dinner (or breakfast if you’re adventurous).
Pizza or pasta? …if you had to choose!
