Gluten-Free Quinoa Fusilli Pasta Ring#SundayFunday

This is a healthy pasta, quinoa pasta it's gluten free and delicious. I have noticed that when you normally cook pasta after cooling it clumps up, so requires to be oiled immediately. But that's not the case in this quinoa pasta it does not require oil after draining since it does not clump up after cooling. Loved the taste of this pasta.

Ingredients
2 Cups Gluten Free Quinoa pasta
1/3 Cup Chopped Carrot
1/3 Cup Chopped French Beans
1/3 Cup Parboiled Broccoli
1/3 Cup Boiled Shredded Chicken
1 Medium Onion - chopped
3 Big Cloves Garlic - finely chopped
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Tablespoon Pasta Sauce
¾ Cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
1/3 Cup Half & Half
2 Large Eggs
Salt to taste
A Dash of Black Pepper Powder
½ Teaspoon Paprika powder

Method

Boil the Gluten free quinoa pasta till 80% done.
Strain the quinoa pasta and run through cold water.

In a pan, heat oil, add the onions and garlic sauté till raw aroma of the garlic vanishes, add the chopped beans and carrot sauté for a minute. Cover and cook till the carrots are half done. Then add the pasta sauce and paprika powder, sauté for a minute or two. Add the broccoli, shredded chicken and pasta. Stir to combine, add the salt and give it a good mix. Keep aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl add in eggs, half and half, pepper and salt whisk to combine well, add in the cooled pasta mixture and mix well till combined. Now add in 1/3 cup cheese and mix.

Grease a ring mold well with butter, sprinkle a little or the remaining cheese at the bottom. Press in the pasta mixture well, add the remaining cheese on the top. Tent the pan with a foil.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes remove the foil and bake again for another 20 minutes or till a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Cool it for 10 minutes. Unmold and serve.

Delicious meal is ready!! Serve warm.
