Grain Free Pasta Recipes

Gosh! I’ve been so busy working on my new ebook cook book. It is short but it contains some great grain free pasta and pizza recipes (as well as few other gems). This stuff is so good! I’ve been eating it daily for about 3 months now…. not that I recommend that, but I had to make each recipe umpteen million times to make sure I got it just right. So needless to say, my family and I are ready to eat something besides Italian food for a while. lol

Anyhow, although I’ve been eating pizza and pasta every night, I also haven’t gained a single pound. I would say it’s because this stuff has only half the starch as regular pasta… also, the healthy fat that it contains will also help slow down digestion, making it much lower on the GI scale than regular pasta.

It’s also really filling. I found that I got really full, really fast eating this stuff.

Here’s a nutritional breakdown:

So, the ebook should be out before the end of the month. It’s a very short collection of recipes. Less than 20. But I think that they are a gold mine of possibilities and endless variations.

If you want to keep updated as to when the ebook comes out, make sure you sign up for my emails.

So, here’s a recipe that in the book. A sneak preview so to speak…

This is a recipe that will be in my new cookbook. I hope to have it electronically published before the end of the month.

 

Chocolate Almond Biscotti

2 cups almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup dark cacao powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 eggs

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/3 cup steviva blend

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Place all ingredients into a bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until dough forms a ball. Form a log on a parchment lined baking sheet. Log should be about 1” high.

Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Cut into 1/2” slices and place cut sides up back onto lined baking sheet. Bake for another 20 minutes at 325, turning once halfway through.

Remove from oven. Allow to cool. You may want to dip into melted dark or white chocolate.
