This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Barilla®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #GlutenFreeBarilla http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV We may be smack dab in the middle of the holiday season, but I’m still making regular dinners. How about you? Just because I’ve got shopping and parties and preschool bake sales and gingerbread decorating parties (for me, not the kids. Is that wrong?!), doesn’t mean I’m not still in the kitchen fixing dinner every night. Cause we gotta eat! And at this time of year, I want easy, I want healthy (to combat all the sweets!), and I want family friendly, all-in-one dishes. So here we are. Pasta, pasta!
And not just any pasta. This is a certified gluten free pasta from Barilla that’s made with corn and rice and has no GMO ingredients. Because we all have people in our lives that are gluten free, am I right? I have several friends who practice a gluten-free diet, for various reasons, and my mother-in-law also is gluten free. She’s visiting this month (I’m so looking forward to it - I’m blessed to have amazing in-laws!) and I’m always looking for healthy gluten free recipes we can all enjoy.
This gluten free pasta from Barilla is a big help. I found it at BJ’s Wholesale Club with my two favorite shopping buddies and was happy to snatch up a 4-pack. It’s got great taste and texture and can easily sub for your regular pasta. I really couldn’t tell a difference! Better yet, my husband didn’t know… he thought I’d accidentally bought white pasta instead of whole wheat. The color gave away that it was different, but he really thought it was regular pasta. That’s a win!
Plus, pasta nights can be so quick and easy — which is great when you have guests – so I’m happy I can add this to our dinner menu while my in-laws are here. It will free me up to do more talking and wine drinking together! Another win! Cause that’s what the holidays are all about, right? Family and fun times together. And gathering around good food that everyone can enjoy. You can visit BJ’s Wholesale Clubs on December 22nd and 23rd to see an in-store Barilla Gluten Free pasta demo at select clubs. Try it out and you’ll see for yourself. I may have to go back for more. Also, you can check out Barilla’s Gluten Free Pasta Pinterest board and Instagram page for more ideas.
Get your gluten free pasta on, and enjoy! ** Have you tried gluten free pasta? ** I buy a 2-pound container of butternut squash that is already pre-cut into ¼-1/2 inch small pieces. It makes me happy. If you can’t find it, you can buy a medium butternut squash and peel and chop it yourself (be sure to clean out the inner seeds and pulp). If your pan is full with the sausage and pasta, you can go ahead and transfer everything to a large bowl and add the spinach there. The heat from the sausage and the hot pasta will wilt the spinach.
