Gluten free pasta meal prep 💪🏻
Hi lemon8 friends! I recently stumbled upon this pasta salad jar meal prep but I am very sensitive to gluten and this is by far THE BEST GF pasta that I’ve found. It doesn’t have a weird taste and has the al dente consistency just like regular pasta. So impressed by this that I have made it now for 2 days for dinner and take left overs for lunch the following day.
I posted a picture of the pasta so I hope you can find it 🫶🏻
-Cook the pasta for 10 min (added oil and salt in case it stuck but this did not have the typical foam that GF pasta has and was perfect)
-Cut up red bell pepper, onion, tomato, cucumber, and garlic and throw in olive oil and balsamic vinegar..Measure that with your heart 🤣
-Add basil, celery salt, and pepper. (And fresh mozzarella if you have it)
SO GOOD 🤌🏻

Meal prepping is an excellent way to maintain a healthy diet while saving time during busy weeks. When choosing gluten-free pasta, look for brands that utilize brown rice or chickpea flour for better texture and flavor. Many gluten-free options now mimic the consistency of traditional pasta without the off-putting taste often associated with past products. To enhance your pasta salads, consider adding seasonal vegetables such as zucchini or spinach, which not only boost the nutritional value but also add freshness. Incorporating fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or even arugula can elevate the flavor profile further. Don't forget to experiment with various dressings; adding a tangy lemon vinaigrette or a spicy harissa can transform your dish. Also, for those sensitive to gluten, ensure all your other ingredients, like sauces and additional toppings, are also gluten-free. Make each meal prep session fun by trying different combinations of vegetables, proteins (like grilled chicken or tofu), and dressings to keep your meals exciting. Remember, the key to sticking with meal prep is variety and flavors that excite your taste buds!
