I love pasta very much. However, I don’t often eat it anymore because of my low carb lifestyle. However, this past Sunday my craving for pasta was so strong, I knew I had to make it!
I decided to load my pasta up with veggies so that I would still have a nutritious and healthy meal. The combination of baby spinach, fresh tomatoes, ghee (clarified/dairy free butter), and sea salt tasted amazing! It’s a comfort meal I’ll likely be revisiting.
The great thing about brown rice pasta is that it essentially tastes the same as regular pasta (in my opinion) but is higher in fiber, as well as gluten free. Todd, my italian pasta loving fiance, didn’t even realize that it’s wasn’t “regular” pasta. That’s a win in my book! Enjoy! :)
