Pasta, Grilled Italian Sausage with Sautéed  Vegetables ~ serves 4

​Another true favourite in my cooking repertoire is pasta dishes.  Trying to be gluten-free isn't the challenge that it once was.  Costco is a source for organic gluten-free pasta as is the Internet.  GoGoQuinoa.com makes good pasta.  We've enjoy their macaroni many times.  It is made from organic white rice, & organic red & white quinoa.  Great for mac & cheese. Well.ca sells an abundance of GoGoQuinoa products too!   Chickapea.com spirals are made with chickpeas and lentils.  

As mentioned before, we shop at the Western Fair Market on weekends.  Purchasing our meat from Country Style Meats, their homemade gluten-free Italian sausage is tasty and not too fatty.  On the grill or oven-baked, slice it up and add it to the cooked pasta & vegetables.   Top with freshly-grated parmesan or reggiano cheese purchased from All 'Bout Cheese also located in the Western Fair Market.  Don't forget the vegetables...
