A magical grain hailing from South America, Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wa) has been considered the 'gold of the Incas' due to its nature of increasing stamina in their warriors. Quinoa is a complete protein, as it is packed with all 9 essential amino acids including lysine- which promotes tissue growth and cell repair. This gluten-free grain is especially great for diabetics and those who suffer from hypertension, migranes and athersclerosis as it contains minerals that relax the blood vessels such as manganese, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, copper and riboflavin, aka Vitamin B12- which is necessary for proper energy production within cells. Also abundant are the protective phytonutrient called plant lignans, which protect against hormone-dependant cancer and cardiovascular disease. I'm telling you- your body will thank you.

Broccoli, Yellow Peppers, Radishes, Carrots and Spinach (not pictured)
Chop up favorite veggies of choice- or in my case- whatever you have in your fridge to saute and use with noodles. I used yellow peppers, carrots, radishes, spinach and broccoli- which turned out to be a perfect combo. Over low heat, saute veggies in 1-2 tablespoons of Sesame Oil until veggies relax. Sprinkle over 1/2 teaspoon each of Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Sea Salt and Black Pepper. Once noodles are done cooking, drain, rinse and add into skillet of veggies and mix well. Optionally, add in a splash of Gluten-Free Tamari Sauce for extra flavor. Ps- the radishes really rock in this one...

Another easy-breezy, nutritious and delish dinner. Perfect for large-batch making for next-day lunch, btdubs.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the update. I have tried gluten free pasta before but the pasta doesn't last very long and usually needs to be eaten immediately and thus wasn't work making. I hope the Gluten-Free Quinoa Spaghetti Noodles is better.
