So was finally able to aquire some gluten-free pasta so we made this recipe which my whole family enjoyed and the leftovers made a quick breakfast for me this morning, LOL I've always been a huge pasta, bread person so finding recipes and ingredients to satisfy those cravings is wonderful! I doubled the below recipe to put this in a casserole dish, not a pie dish.

4 oz rice or corn spaghetti

1/2 lb ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

3/4 cup spaghetti sauce

2 eggs

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tbsp butter or margarine, melted

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

directions:

Preheat overn to 350

1. cook spaghetti according to pkg directions, drain, return to pan

2. meanwhile, in frying pan, saute the ground beef, onions and green pepper until the meat is brown and onions are translucent. Drain fats. Add spaghetti sauce and stir to combine, set aside

3. in bowl, beat one egg. Add parmesan cheese and melted butter, mix well to combine. Add to hot pasta and toss until combined.

4. In a well greased 9 in pie pan, spread the spaghetti mixture with a spoon across bottom of pan and up the sides to form a crust.

5. beat remaining egg in a small bowl. Add cottage cheese and egg, mix to combine then spread over the bottom of the crust.

6. spoon meat mixture over cottage cheese mixture

7. bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven.

8. sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top of pie. Return pie to oven for 5-8 minutes or until cheese melts and the crust sets. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.

I found this recipe in the book Incredible Edible Gluten free Food for Kids, by Sheri Sanderson. Its gonna be a keeper around this house :)

Your family may like this, too. I add pancetta or bacon and red pepper. One of my faves. I usually use corn/quinoa pasta but I MAY have used rice pasta....so it would get starchy. Yep, pretty sure I did....

This sounds pretty good--thank you for the recipe.

One question--hub is not fan of cottage cheese, but he's a good sport and will eat it if I make it -- but, I see no reason not to sub ricotta --what do you guys think?? Will it make it too moist?

I have on occasion subbed the other way around and it didn't seem to make much difference.

I didn't think it would matter, but it is good to hear you have done it as well. :) I am guessing the fat content is lower with the cottage cheese, perhaps (which is what I may need after all the goodies I have eaten this week) :rolleyes::lol:

You can even make this with Mexican type flavors - cheddar, taco seasoned meat, salsa & maybe a little cottage cheese/ ricotta for gooeiness ( or Velveeta instead of cheddar). If you don't have spaghetti, you can squish down any shape noodles into a crust. I would use corn noodles with the Mexican style.

Thanks, K. I love Mex. :)

That sounds really good Spryng! Sometimes, I just add cottage cheese/grated parmesan to my pasta and sauce before eating it. Sounds very similar :)

I love all the ideas to mix this meal up! Can be very versatile for sure! Do you think it's something that will freeze well? I would love to make a couple batches up and freeze them for when I have company or something out of the blue, would be a nice meal to reheat :)

A very similar recipe appeared in Better Homes & Gardens magazine way back in the 70's and I remember making it when my kids were little. And we all liked it. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

I see no reason it would not freeze well but that was way before microwaves so it wouldn't have been as easy to reheat the leftovers as it is today.

Tried your recipe today--I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese because I had some in the house--and it was VERY TASTY INDEED! I used corn pasta and I could see how it would be easily converted to Mex--as Karen suggests.

Hubby liked it and had seconds. That's always a good sign. :lol:

Thanks for posting this recipe! It's almost like lasagna--only quicker. :)

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
