Organic Brown Rice Lasagne

The other night I made gluten-free lasagne (that's how they spell it) with Tinkyada's organic brown rice pasta. It turned out great. Not only is the lasagne wheat-free, but its cholesterol-free, low-fat, and low in sodium.

Did you know there is an energy-saving way to cook your pasta? Tinkyada provides this energy-savings tip on the packaging: "Cook 1 to 2 minutes in boiling water. Switch off stove. Cover pot for about 20 minutes. Ready to serve. The good texture of Tinkyada can withstand quite a bit of over-cooking." They promise it to be "not mushy...al dente". I cooked the pasta their energy-savings way, and the lasagna noodles came out perfect.

Next time you make lasagne or lasagna, try my recipe: make 2-3 cups of a buttery white sauce (you can use gluten-free all purpose flour from Bob's Red Mill) with Parmesan cheese and a hint on nutmeg; add some fresh minced garlic, and salt/pepper between layers of pasta, thin sliced pastrami and fresh spinach. Butter baking dish. First layer is a thin layer of white sauce, followed by pasta, pastrami, then spinach, white sauce and repeat...top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with fresh grated Parmesan. Bake at 350-degrees for 40-minutes. Enjoy!
