Most gluten free pasta stinks. I said it and I stick by it. But gluten free substitutes can be fricken awesome! Quinoa provides a great hearty taste and is quite easy to prepare. So tonight, we went with a chunky tomato sauce, turkey sausage and quinoa. Once again, we went with a spicy tomato sauce similar to the pizza sauce we made, just with a few more fresh veggies.
Thick cut onions, peppers and tomatoes started out in olive oil and Italian spices with a splash of red wine. Then came the turkey sausage chunks and tomato sauce.
Throw it over the quinoa and voila!
Ingredients
1 medium yellow onion chopped
1 large bell pepper (we used orange) chopped
1 large tomato chopped
1 turn of olive oil
Basil, oregano, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, black pepper
1 cup of turkey sausage crumbles (cook according to package directions)
14 ounces of tomato sauce
1 cup quinoa (cook according to package directions)
Recipe
Saute the vegetables over medium heat with spices.
After the vegetables have softened, add a splash of red wine and the sausage (cooked), allowing to cook for about 5 more minutes.
(At this point, it is a good idea to start the quinoa, giving the sauce enough time to cook.)
Add the tomato sauce to the veggies, throw in some more spices and cover, cooking over low heat until the quinoa is done. Again, remember the salt to counteract the sweetness of the canned tomato sauce.
