Garden Vegetable Pasta Bake

Gluten Free Living – 2014

Garden Vegetable Pasta Bake is SOOOO wonderful! I was really hungry for some kind of Italian dish with pasta a few weeks ago. I wanted to use gluten free noodles and I wanted a recipe that I had all the ingredients on hand already, plus I wanted it to be as clean eating as possible. Well, I found one!

Follow Me On Instagram!

This lovely pasta dish has mushrooms, onions, garlic, bell peppers and carrots for the veggies. It has ground beef for the meat, tomato puree and spaghetti sauce for the binding ingredients, and parmesan and mozzarella cheeses to make it ooey, gooey and delicious! Throw in a few tasty seasonings and this recipe is an excellent choice for any day of the week.

I found Garden Vegetable Pasta Bake on All Recipes, posted there by Contadina. While they use chicken sausage (which I’m sure is wonderful), I only had ground beef on hand so that’s what I used. For those of you who are hunters I believe ground venison would also work, along with Italian sausage or ground turkey. One of the best gluten free pastas available these days is made by Ronzoni. I highly recommend it over other brands.

I’m sure other veggies like leeks, fennel, squash and even green beans would work wonderfully in this recipe. Especially if you are trying to lighten it up and add more veggies.

If you’re looking for a fairly quick and easy main dish to serve your family, then Garden Vegetable Pasta Bake should be on your radar. If you don’t have gluten intolerance, you can use regular pasta and almost any shape will work, although I personally prefer the smaller ones rather than spaghetti, linguini or angel hair.

I think you’ll find Garden Vegetable Pasta Bake is a great recipe to make for company, too. Everyone will enjoy the delicious flavors of this entree. On top of that, Garden Vegetable Pasta Bake is kid-friendly and doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg to bake!
