    Spaghetti with Clams (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Spaghetti with clams has long been a favorite, and during a summer trip to Italy's sunny Amalfi coast a few years back, I was lucky enough to enjoy a gluten-free version of this quick, cheap, easy Italian classic. I find the recipe works best with Schar brand gluten-free spaghetti, but feel free to substitute your favorite.

    Ingredients:
    1 pound dried Schar or other gluten-free spaghetti
    ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
    2 shallots, thinly sliced
    5 or 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    2 pounds Manila clams, scrubbed clean
    ½ cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
    10 to12 sweet cherry tomatoes
    ½ cup dry white wine
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced into small cubes
    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    ½ cup Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated
    Lemon, as garnish

    Directions:
    Boil 6 quarts of salted water in a large pot. Add pasta, stirring well to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta, toss lightly with a splash of olive oil, and set aside.

    Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan. When oil is hot, and nearly smoking, add shallots and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes, stir well, so as not to burn the garlic.

    Add the clams, wine and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until clams have opened.

    Add 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Whisk in butter to thicken sauce slightly.

    Drain pasta in a colander. Do not rinse pasta with water - this will remove the pasta's natural starches. Place pasta into the clam saute pan and mix thoroughly. Season to taste.

    Pour pasta into large serving bowl. Garnish with remaining parsley. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges, and grated cheese on the side.

    This recipe comes to us from Sara Nagy.
    Ingredients:
    2 cups cubed leftover turkey or chicken
    8+ oz. cooked gluten-free spaghetti noodles broken in half (Dont overcook them, theyll cook more in the casserole)
    1 Can Progresso Cream of Mushroom Soup (verify gluten-free)
    8 - 16 oz. sautéed mushrooms
    1 cup grated parmesan cheese
    Directions:
    Cook the spaghetti noodles. Sauté the mushrooms, add the chicken or turkey to warm through, add the soup and the sherry. Stir in about ¾ of the parmesan cheese and the noodles.
    Pour into a buttered casserole dish and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake at 325F, uncovered for about 35 minutes. This is a comfort dish!

    I’ve actually found that when it comes to pesto sauces, I sometimes stray a bit from a traditional basil-based sauce. There are so many possible combinations of fresh herbs, it’s easy to try a new one each time.
    This particular recipe is spicy, peppery and versatile. It can be used to top meats, vegetables, rice or quinoa along with any good gluten-free pasta. I deliberately omit the pine nuts found in most pesto sauces, because I think the herbs stand on their own better than just basil, but feel free to include them. You might try thinning it out with a little more olive oil to create a robust dressing for salads.
    Ingredients:
    3 cups packed arugula
    ½ cup flat-leaf parsley
    2 tablespoons fresh tarragon
    2 cloves garlic
    ¾ cup olive oil
    ½ teaspoon salt
