Chef Katies Tips:
Gluten-Free Pasta Varieties: There are so many varieties of healthy, gluten-free pastas available now. I love using the thick, fettuccini (aka “Pad Thai”) noodles for this dish, but you can use whatever appeals to you. There’s chickpea penne, quinoa macaroni, and even black rice chia spaghetti. Try them out to decide what you prefer!
Budget-Friendly Tip: If you want to save money, opt instead for traditional whole wheat fettuccini noodles. Get the generic store-brand of frozen spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. No need to go fancy here. Simple ingredients mean simple, delicious flavors
