Gluten Free Pasta with Ground Turkey and Green Beans

Just recently I was told that I have a gluten sensitivity, being Italian it is hard but hey you do what you need to and make the necessary adjustments. Although I don't miss eating pasta, I wanted to try some of the new products on the market that are "Gluten Free". The one used in this recipe was make with just corn and water. I have to say it was not bad, even Frank enjoyed it. So lets get started.

Ingredients:

1 Bag of Gluten Free Pasta (made with corn) plus 1/2 cup of cooking water reserved
1-2 TBSP Olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 package of ground Turkey 
1 TBSP Italian Seasoning
1 bag French Cut Green Beans
1/2 cup carrots
1 TBSP grated Parmesan Cheese

Boil water for your pasta. In a skillet, heat oil, garlic, and ground turkey. Cook till the meat is no longer pink; add your green beans and carrots, along with the rest of the seasoning. Let it simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes. Just enough time for the pasta to cook (make sure to save your 1/2 cup of water) and strain. Once it is done toss into the skillet mixture along with the 1/2 cup off water,  toss and finish off with grated cheese.  Serve and enjoy.

Tips:
Obviously, if you don't want to use gluten free pasta you can use quinoa, rice, or no pasta at all. This can be made with broccoli or any other vegetable of choice.

Serves:
3-6

Total Cooking Time:
25-30 minutes
