Quinoa Linguine, Lemon + Arugula

Following the introduction to gluten-free quinoa pasta yesterday, I wanted a share a recipe with you. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a pasta recipe on hand when you are looking for a little inspiration outside of pasta with tomato sauce. (Though I will admit, pasta and tomato sauce is still one of my most favorite comfort foods!)

This Quinoa Linguine, Lemon + Arugula recipe is one of my favorite pasta dishes in the summer. While it’s arguably on the lighter, summery side, I envision myself enjoying this dish for just a bit longer into these early days of fall. This dish is inspired by one of my favorite restaurants in Montauk – The Crow’s Nest.

    Thank you Dandy. Please let me know if there is anything you are particularly craving!

    Today you should be able to find it fairly easy at most grocery stores. Your local health food store will also have it.

  • This sounds pretty easy and much more healthy than normal/wheat pasta. Do you buy Ancient Harvest Quinoa Linguine Pasta in the shop or online?
