Gluten Free Asian Ragu

Gluten Free Asian Ragu Recipe

Who doesn’t love spaghetti and meat sauce? I know I am a huge fan but I am also a huge fan of switching things up now and again.

While I love the traditional Italian version, once in a while I take a departure with this Asian inspired take on spaghetti and meat sauce – Gluten Free Asian Ragu.

This is a quick meal to get on the table. Serve it with a simple salad with an Asian inspired dressing and you have yourself a whole meal on the table in about half an hour. The trick is to get the water for the pasta on the stove first and let that come to a boil. Then get your veggies for the sauce prepped; I use my mini food processor for the shallot, garlic and ginger. I also use Pastariso All Natural Rice Pasta which is not only organic but also cooks up quicker than other gluten free pastas and doesn’t get mushy.

Next time you are in the mood for some spaghetti and meat sauce, maybe give this recipe a try, after all didn’t spaghetti originate in Asia in the first place?
