Today’s Secret Ingredient for Friday Foodie Fix is pasta! You may recall a couple of weeks ago I issued the Great Gluten Free Pasta Challenge.

Pork and Vegetable Spaghetti Arrabiata Recipe
This Pork and Vegetable Spaghetti Arrabiata meal was a big hit. The taste and texture was so good we kept eating even though we were full. There was just enough heat to make it flavorful but not overpowering. I used a quinoa pasta to keep it gluten free and no cheese to keep it dairy […]
