Quinoa Pasta with Beany Balls


Eliminating the gluten from our diets has been somewhat of a challenge. But it is now with gratitude that I look back at my scoffing of the process because I might not otherwise have stumbled upon the heavenly quinoa pasta. This pasta, still rich in protein and fiber (protein not the issue for us veggie people that some may think it is...) is much better tasting says our whole family than the whole wheat variety of pasta. The quinoa pasta is pretty starchy so I rinse before serving.
I thought the Beany Balls http://www.fatfreevegan.com/
were very yummy and made for a nice spin on a familiar favorite. Not all the kids were pleased with the beany balls but I often get mixed reviews on anything new I serve from the purist middle children.
The recipe says they freeze well and since they are more time consuming to make than spaghetti with sauce I will be giving that a try.
