Pasta with Broccoli, sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms

Here is a simple gluten free dish to warm you up on a brisk fall day.





It is pasta with Broccoli, sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms.

This very simple to prepare. You need

2 heads of broccoli
10 cloves of garlic
2  boxes of mushrooms
1 jar of sun dried tomatoes
1 box of gluten free macaroni
   olive oil

Chop up the garlic and put half of it in some oil in a frying pan. Clean and cut the broccoli so the florets are not too big. Saute the garlic until soft and enjoy the delicious smell of garlic in the morning, it smells lick victory. Put in the broccoli and cook until crispy. Take out of pan and reserve.

Put the rest of the garlic in some more oil and then put in the mushrooms that you have sliced thinly. Saute until they are cooked but drain the moisture that the mushrooms throw off. Then throw in the sun dried tomatoes. Now if you are using tomatoes that were in oil you will have a lot more liquid and enhanced flavor. For a "cleaner" less oily taste get sun dried tomatoes that are sold loose and dry. After the mushrooms are done add the broccoli and get everything nice and hot.

Serve over gluten free pasta. I prefer brown riced based pasta but it is up to you.

Simple. Gluten free. Delicious. Enjoy.

Sorry ric. Vegatarian for this one.

But it is pretty tasty.

You can add some sun dried tomato pesto to really spice it up.

Sun-dried pesto sounds really good. I grow my own basil and make my own pesto but never sun-dried tomato pesto. I might cheat and use Trader Joe’s dried tomato. Tomato plants thrive out here but almost every one of mine were scavenged at night by critters. Likewise, I moved my basil plants inside because of insect pests and slugs.
