Easy Gluten Free and Vegan Pasta Dish

So there are many nights where I am looking for a quick, easy, and satisfying meal, right?
I want something balanced and filling. Something satisfying. I am not usually creative in the kitchen, that is my husband's job! I typically follow recipes to a T! Last night, I needed a quick healthy meal so I came up with a easy dish that just so happens to be vegan and gluten free!

Diana's Easy Gluten Free and Vegan Pasta Dish

Ingredients:

  • Gluten free pasta (your choice on style)
  • Quinoa
  • Organic Pasta Sauce
  • Zucchini, sliced 
Directions:

  1. Put your oven on 425 degrees
  2. Slice your zucchini and place on a baking sheet
  3. Sprinkle black pepper, garlic powder, and sea salt on zucchini
  4. Cook zucchini for 20-25 minutes
  5. While zucchini is cooking, cook quinoa as package recommends and cook gluten free pasta as package recommends
  6. Once all is cooked, mix together and add pasta sauce. 
  7. Mix well


Enjoy!!

PS I did not include amounts because you can make as little or as much as you like. I used 4 servings of quinoa and gluten free pasta each, 2 zucchini, and half a jar of pasta sauce.

It's been a while...

Hello there! It's been a while huh? Um I think about 3 years!! A lot has happened in those 3 years...3 places of work, pregnancy, and mom life! So what's new??

Then after having my son took a position at a local hospital...only 8 minutes from home vs the hospital in the city which was 55 minutes on a good traffic day! I found out I was prego a few days before Christmas 2016...yes it was planned. For YEARS, we said NO kids ever! My father died in 2015 and my whole thought process on kiddos changed! Landon David arrived 8/14/17 via planned c section...he was breech! I stressed myself out incredibly too much about sleep, breastfeeding, being perfect, etc AND I suffered from Postpartum Depression and Anxiety! One thing I have learned about Motherhood is that you can plan, but you have to expect the unexpected!! Once I accepted this, my anxiety died down A LOT...
