Baked Penne & Cheese

Gluten & soy-free

It's been cold here (52 as we speak) and I crave warm cozy soul-soothing foods lol:)

And it turned out AWESOME! The pasta held up for 3 days in the fridge after! (YAY Tinkyada)

And instead of making a 'Roux' I used a package of that Chreese Alfredo style added

milk to that and blended the cheeses into that!

1 package Tinkyada Pasta (I used penne shape- choose your favorite)

1 package 'Chreese' (I ordered mine online)

1 1/2 cups milk

4 oz white cheddar cheese (shredded. if you prefer use yellow cheddar)

8 oz gruyere cheese (shredded)

pinch oregano & basil

kosher salt & pepper

gluten free breadcrumbs for the top

Preheat oven to 350F.

Grab 2 sauce pots (one for pasta and the other for cheese sauce)

Cook pasta according to package directions in one pot, and in the other, add milk and chreese powder mix (make sure to whisk out lumps), add the pinch of oregano & basil now as well as the kosher salt & pepper. Heat to Med, while whisking, and bring to boil. Turn heat off and add shredded cheeses, stir well.

In a 4-quart baking dish (I love my Pyrex) spray the edges and bottom well with Pam (which is gluten free). When pasta is done, drain, then add to cheese mixture and stir to distribute evenly.

Pour pasta & cheese into the baking dish, sprinkle bread crumbs with some ground pepper on top, then put in oven and set timer for 25 minutes. Add more time if not quite bubbly and brown.

Serves 4. B)

I'm lazy, so I do baked mac & cheese with a pound of dry pasta in lots of melted butter in a casserole dish, spices to taste, a CRAPLOAD of cheese shredded on top, and then pour milk over the whole thing til you can see it almost rise above the cheese, and bake at 350 for 45 min. My boyfriend always offer to shred the cheese (cuz it's a lot) if I'll make it. Really good if you put little cubes of cream cheese under the shredded cheese too.

Maybe I'll get the gumption up to try your more labor intensive version sometime, this looks really good.

I made a great baked pasta dish last night. I roasted Italian plum tomatoes (cut in half and tossed in evoo), red,yellow and orange peppers, yellow pattypan squash, zucchini, sweet onion and garlic. Tossed in a bowl, throw in 1 cup creamy ricotta cheese, cubes of mozzarella cheese (or fontina), cooked Tinkayada penne and chiffonades of basil (I like lots, fresh oregano would have been nice too). Toss it all together, pour into a pan, grate parmesan cheese on top and bake at 375 F for 20 minutes. Yum. I have two vegetarians in the house so I cooked gluten free sweet italian sausage and those of us that eat meat sprinkled some on top of our pasta.

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
