Top 5 Gluten Free Pasta Dishes Recipes

What is Gluten

Gluten is a family of proteins found in grains like wheat, rye, spelt and barley.

Of the gluten-containing grains, wheat is by far the most commonly consumed.

The two main proteins in gluten are glutenin and gliadin. Gliadin is responsible for most of the negative health effects (1, 2).

When flour is mixed with water, the gluten proteins form a sticky network that has a glue-like consistency.

This glue-like property makes the dough elastic, and gives bread the ability to rise when baked. It also provides a chewy, satisfying texture (3, 4).

Interestingly, the name glu-ten is derived from this glue-like property of wet dough.

Bottom Line: Gluten is a family of proteins found in grains like wheat, spelt, rye and barley. Gliadin and glutenin are the two main gluten proteins. Learn more why Gluten is bad for some people

Simple Lemon Olive Oil Pasta

Though it’s tempting to reach for pre-made pasta sauce, making your own takes flavour the extra mile. Made with pan-roasted tomatoes, basil, garlic, lemon zest, and nutritional yeast, this sauce couldn’t be simpler (despite its robust flavour). Use gluten-free spaghetti or another long noodle variety, and top with vegan Parmesan and red pepper flakes.

Spinach and Ricotta Keto Ravioli

Calling these ravioli “pillowy soft bites from heaven” doesn’t quite do the homemade pasta justice. The keto-friendly dough is made from almond and coconut flour, apple cider vinegar, salt, and egg, and stuffed with ricotta, Parmesan, spinach, pine nuts, and nutmeg, making them incredibly rich yet still soft. Top with thyme butter sauce and enjoy a little slice of (keto) heaven.

Baked Eggplant Casserole

Tip: For a twist, try Epicure Tzaziki Dip Mix or Seasoning for Hot Artichoke Dip instead of Epicure Hummus Dip Mix. About 10 minutes before the casserole is done, sprinkle a handful of your favourite cheese overtop and bake until melted. Serve with a side salad and prepared Epicure Dressing.
