Namaste Gluten Free Pasta Pisavera Review and Giveaway

Thanks to the good folks at Namaste Foods I tried Gluten Free Pasta Pisavera tonight for dinner. It is a delicious Italian Pasta Dish. This recipe is very versatile. I decided to add some of Amy's gluten free chicken meatballs cut up I got from Costco over the weekend, and some cut up tomatoes.

The instructions say you can also add red or green peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, olives, etc. make it your own. It also includes an Italian Summer Pasta Salad recipe.

Our fine foods contain no wheat, gluten, corn, soy, potato, dairy, casein, tree nuts or peanuts

This was very easy to make. I did have to add a bit more oil when adding more ingredients. Maybe you could try adding some butter too. I think some parmesan cheese on top would be lovely also. It has a bit of a spicy kick to it, which was a nice change, the noodles were a very good consistency also. I suggest you try some today!

Namaste carries a whole line of foods, including brownies and Spice cake.

Bakery on Main Soft and Chewy Chocolate Almond

These soft bars are wondeful, I am not a fan of the hard and crunchy bars as they are too hard and they really are not as healthy as these. I love the little chocolate chip pieces in the bar, with just a hint of almond flavor. These are great to carry in your purse, no worry about breaking like most bars.
