homemade oat pasta
I have recently been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis so I am trying to eat foods that don't cause inflammation. Gluten is one food that causes a lot of inflammation. I haven't found a single gluten free pasta that I like. so I thought "what if I make pasta out of oat flour?"so I experimented and was not disappointed by the results!
disclaimer: this technically isn't gluten free because I didn't use certified GF oats. However this is only because there's a possibility of gluten ending up in your oats so the amount is still minimal if any. I do need to play around with this a little more but I loved how it turned out!!

With the rising popularity of gluten-free diets, many are turning to alternative grains to create beloved foods like pasta. Oats are a fantastic choice due to their fiber content and potential anti-inflammatory properties. Although this homemade oat pasta may not be entirely gluten-free, using certified gluten-free oats mitigates any concerns for those with sensitivities. When preparing your oat pasta, try adding spices or herbs to enhance flavor, and pair your pasta with fresh vegetables or lean proteins for a balanced meal. For cooking, boiling the pasta only takes a few minutes, and you can experiment with various sauces, from light olive oil to robust marinara, to find what tantalizes your taste buds. Remember to consider the overall nutritional value and adjust ingredients to suit any dietary restrictions. This oat pasta is versatile and can easily be dressed up for any occasion, from casual family dinners to more elegant gatherings. With a little creativity, homemade oat pasta can become a staple in your healthy dining repertoire!
