21 of the Best Grain Free Pasta Dishes

Posted February 1, 2016

Everyone loves pasta. It’s classic comfort food, but for those of us with gluten intolerance, it can be anything but comforting. But worry not, my friends! You can still have a delicious, satisfying bowl of pasta without the grain. These delectable dishes are all paleo-friendly and can easily be adapted to suit your dietary needs. Enjoy!

3. Spiralized Veggie Noodles

Since I love pasta but not the gluten and carbs, the spiralizer is one of my favorite inventions! This is one of the simplest and quickest dishes to make. Just heat up the sauce and throw in the spiralized veggie noodles. If you’re like me, you’ll probably want to add some veggies to your veggies ?? ? #glutenfreespaghetti #veggienoodles #zucchini #tomatoesauce #broccoli #vegatarian #vegan #grainfreepasta #healthy #delicious

14. Sweet Potato Noodles and Oven Roasted Chicken

Healthy, protein-packed and ready in less than 30 minutes! Method below ?? Used @veggienoodleco sweet potato noodles to save some time from spiralizing them myself! Just sautéed them over medium heat in about 1 tbsp. @omgheebutter and 2 cloves minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Pan Seared Oven Roasted Chicken Directions: Preheat oven to 375. Rinse and pat dry chicken. Season with Montreal (or salt and pepper), to taste. Heat cast iron skillet (or oven safe pan) over medium-high heat with tsp of olive oil. When hot, add chicken and brown on both sides for 3-4 minutes each. Transfer to oven. Bake 15-20 minutes! Top noodles and chicken with chopped fresh cilantro and done!

Never an excuse not to eat well, even if I don’t feel well. Sautéed fresh garlic, shallot, and asparagus in @kerrygoldusa butter with a little pink Himalayan salt. Later tossed in some @cappellos grain-free pasta and Trader Joe’s baby heirloom tomatoes. Next made a quick cream sauce with coconut milk, more butter, and tomato paste.
