Gluten Free Pasta Bake
This gluten free pasta bake is gluten free and nut free with a dairy free option. This gluten free pasta bake is the best easy meal. It is perfect for a quick easy weeknight dinner. It takes less than 30 minutes to make and uses minimal dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 box gluten-free penne or your preferred gluten-free pasta shape
- 32 oz vodka sauce or tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp pizza seasoning OR garlic and herb seasoning
- 1/2 cup low fat mozzarella cheese shredded (or 1/2 cups shredded dairy-free cheese alternative)
- 1 cup fat free ricotta cheese or dairy-free ricotta alternative
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Following the package directions, cook the gluten-free noodles in a large pot of salted water that is boiling. Cook the uncooked pasta for half the suggested amount of time (less time than al dente). This will create the best results so the pasta does not overcook in the skillet. If overcooked it will be mushy pasta. Drain the pasta well.
- Transfer the partially cooked, tender pasta directly to your oven safe skillet.
- Pour the jar of vodka sauce over the pasta, making sure it's evenly distributed. Dollop spoonfuls of creamy ricotta cheese over the top of the sauce to give it delicious flavor.
- Sprinkle the pizza seasoning (or garlic and herb seasoning) evenly over the entire dish.
- Top with the shredded cheese or pieces of fresh mozzarella (or dairy-free alternative) on the baked pasta.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly on top.
- Remove the dish from the oven. While it's still hot, sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese (or dairy-free alternative) and drizzle with the olive oil.
