This Gluten Free Veggie Pasta in Olive Oil sauce would be perfect for your Meatless Monday meals or as a great side dish to your main course. This months Degustabox had a box of Tolerant Organic Green Lentil and Kale Pasta
You can also use regular pasta but if you are using Tolerant’s pasta there are a couple of things you should know:
- When you put the pasta in the boiling water keep an eye on it or it could boil over quickly.
- The water will be cloudy and foamy but that’s normal when cooking with this type of pasta so be sure to use plenty of water.
Something else you should know, I really like this pasta. And I can see myself using this pasta to lighten things up a little when I want to take in more plant based proteins and nutrients. I love that it’s certified organic, vegan, gluten-free and non-gmo. If you can get past the cloudy water then I would definitely recommend this pasta!
