Chickapea Mushroom Ragu Gluten Free Pasta
Scroll down below the recipe to Enter the Chickapea Pasta Giveaway.
I’m happy to be sponsored by Chickapea Pasta. This gluten-free, organic, chickpea and lentil pasta has a nutty goodness and is wonderful topped with my mushroom ragu.
A number of years ago I started eating gluten-free(ish) and physically, it made me feel so much better. It’s always a challenge to find gluten-free pasta that isn’t corn-based, so I was happy to find Chickapea Pasta. It has a unique taste and texture, and it stands up to some of my very bold sauces. It’s non-gmo, has a low glycemic index and is a superfood with more than 25 grams of protein. If you’re tired of choosing between convenience and nutrition, it’s both!
I wanted to create a pasta that worked for my vegetarian and vegan family members, and this one is ideal because you can make it either way. To take the flavor up a notch, I made a homemade vegetable stock (although, feel free to use a store bought vegetable stock) and boiled the pasta in it. Fall is a wonderful time of year to find assorted mushrooms so I chose these dry Chanterelle, Cremini and Shitaki mushrooms. By soaking the chanterelles, I was left with a magic elixir. One of the tricks of the pasta is to make it al dente, and in the end I combined the mushrooms with sherry, garlic, and my Marinated Pearl Onions MAGIC ELIXIRâ„¢, then finished it with a bit of the vegetable broth pasta water– another MAGIC ELIXIRâ„¢ and a wonderful and healthful way to finish off the sauce. It’s great topped with Parmesan, or keep it vegan and leave the Parmesan out. Delicious!
