Simple Corn Parmesan Pasta     Print this Recipe

Comments

PERFORMANCE RATING: 4+/4+

Simple delicious alternative to wheat or rice based pasta. This product is a good choice for your family as the corn source is organic, thereby avoiding unhealthy artificial additives and genetically modified organism versions. It is especially nice for those who must eat Gluten-Free. The Kid Kritics loved it. This shows that simple can be better. Using this in your favorite casserole is another application adding variety to your menus.

For a side dish, a 4/4 Performance Rating is strong. Of course, you can thank the added touch of parsley flakes and paprika. As we often remind you, a little goes a long way! Mix up your pasta selection with corn, whether you must eat gluten-free or not. Too much gluten from whole wheat is not good for anyone. Your kids will beg for more when you serve this one!
