The Gluten-Free Homemaker

Last week we had quite a few pizza ideas.  I don’t know if that was coincidence or if people thought there was a pizza theme since my post was about pizza.  Either way I enjoyed it.  Just to clarify, there is only a theme on the first Wednesday of each month.  You can see the list of upcoming themes as well as read the guidelines here.   Even when there is a theme, it is only a suggestion. 
Have you ever noticed that sometimes the best meals are the ones where you just put together what you have and don’t follow a recipe?  This was one of those meals for us.  I’m still getting zucchini from my plant that I thought was done producing weeks ago.  I also have lots of tomatoes.  Therefore, I’ve been using those two vegetables in quite a few dinners.  Here’s what I did.

Cook a 12 oz. package of gluten free spaghetti noodles.  I used Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti.  It was very starch so I rinsed it and added a little olive oil after it cooked.
In a skillet heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the following:

• chopped onion
• sliced zucchini
• chopped tomato
• minced garlic

Add:

• leftover grilled chicken, cut
• leftover pizza or spaghetti sauce (or omit)

I had about 6 oz. of pizza sauce that needed to be used so I just threw it in.  When the veggies are cooked to your liking, and the meat is heated through, serve over spaghetti noodles.  My kids really enjoyed this meal.
