Low FODMAP Pasta Primavera

Pasta Primavera is a wonderful Springtime recipe combining fresh spring veggies and gluten free pasta. To keep this recipe low FODMAP we are looking at a colorful array of fresh veggies such as zucchini cubes, bell peppers strips, broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes. Fresh basil adds brightness with chewy melted mozzarella.

This dish is wonderful the next day for lunch or heated up for another dinner – it is so good!

With many gluten free pastas available today from rice based to quinoa- one of my favorites is found in many regular supermarkets- Barilla GF Pasta. It cooks and tastes like regular pasta and your don’t have to worry about it getting too mushy if you follow the package directions.
