Gluten Free Lemon Pasta Recipe

A few weeks ago, we went to my sister’s house for dinner. She learned about a year or two ago that she has a sensitivity to gluten, so she’s been living the gluten-free diet for the past few months. She’s found some really great recipes including this Lemon and Asparagus Pasta which is not only gluten free, but healthy too!<

• 1 lb. of gluten free pasta such as Quinoa
• Zest and Juice of 2 organic Lemons
• 1 Clove of Garlic, smashed and minced
• 1/4 c. Scallions, including tops, sliced crosswise
• 3/4 c. Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 lb. of fresh Organic Asparagus
• 2 T. of fresh, organic Italian Parsley, chopped
• Sea Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions for cooking the great gluten free pasta!

1. Cook pasta as directed and cook asparagus as desired.
2. In a serving bowl, place lemon juice and zest, garlic, scallions, parsley, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Whisk gently. Add salt and pepper to taste.
