I have memories of a baked ziti dish I used to make (back when I was many pounds heavier) that was basically a thick brick of cheese and pasta. It was a gooey, unhealthy mess! But since I was craving it, I set out to make a healthier version. The result is <\/span>roasted vegetable baked penne<\/b> – a delicious, gluten free, baked pasta dish full of nutritious veggies.<\/span><\/p>\n This dish features zucchini, mushrooms, diced onion, and peas, providing valuable nutrients and antioxidants<\/strong> to the meal. I also included some Parmesan and part-skim mozzarella for that cheesy flavor I was craving. However, by reducing the number and amount of cheeses, I trimmed <\/span>at least<\/span><\/i> 228 calories per serving and 8 grams of fat per serving compared to my old recipe. With a meal this hearty and satisfying, you won\u2019t miss the extra cheese at all!<\/span><\/p>\n This is inspired by a recipe\u00a0from <\/span>Giada de Laurentiis<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n At first, venturing into the world of gluten free pasta can be a bit intimidating. Here are some tips to keep in mind when making the switch.<\/p>\n Regardless of which gluten free pasta option you choose, be sure to use plenty of salt in your cooking water. Also, once you’ve drained your pasta after cooking it, quickly move onto the next step in the recipe. Otherwise, gluten free pasta can quickly clump after draining.<\/p>\n To learn more about gluten free pasta options, download a FREE copy of GF Veg’s eBook the <\/span>Complete Guide to Healthy Pasta<\/b><\/a> for recipes, meal inspiration, nutrition guidance, and cooking tips.
