I’m Sicilian, my husband is also Italian. When we went Paleo (3 years ago) most of our friends thought we had lost our minds. How on Earth, could we give up PASTA?! To be honest, I haven’t missed it. What I DO miss, sometimes is the convenience of it.
Today I’m in the kitchen cooking with Cappello’s Gluten and Grain Free Pastas, to see if my kids and husband approve.
The question becomes, what does an Italian American household eat on Sunday nights if not pasta and sauce (or Gravy)? Honestly, we haven’t given up the homemade gravy, meatballs or italian sausage, we just use alternatives to the traditional pasta. Alternatives like; spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, kelp noodles, Shiritake root noodles, and sweet potato starch noodles known as Korean glass noodles.
We talked to our friends over at Cappello’s Gluten and Grain Free pasta to see if their pasta would meet the demands of our family. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Cappello’s offers 3 pasta varieties; Lasagna sheets and Fettucine noodles made of almond flour and an organic potato gnocchi. In addition, they offer an almond flour chocolate chip cookie dough that is ready to heat and serve.
Today our kitchen was a flurry of activity as we prep for Thanksgiving and get all of our last minute items together. As a quick lunch for the kids I decided to make a quick Alfredo using some raw cashews I had been soaking for another experiment.

For desert, we broke open some of the cookie dough! Each package yields 13 perfectly sized cookies and it takes 10 minutes to cook them to perfection.

I’m going to be using Cappello’s this year to bring back the Christmas lasagna for the first time in many years! My family will be so surprised!
