Red beet spaghetti – glutenfree and vegan
Very easy to make glutenfree and vegan spaghetti. The sauce is made from (pre cooked) red beet, tahin, garlic, lemon, some black pepper and basil. I used brown rice spaghetti.
Glutenfree pasta
My favorite pasta’s are made from buckwheat, lentils and brown rice. The first to I like in the shape of penne or fusili. But the very best spaghetti is made from brown rice. I found a very tasteful spaghetti online at Fattoria Lavialla. They ship to some European countries (including the Netherlands) and the US, but its not a big company. So check the availability. And no, this is not an affiliate link. I just like them!
Tahin
Tahin (or tahini) is a pasta made from sesame seeds. Just like peanut butter is made from peanuts. Be sure to buy paste with just ground sesame seeds and no additives or sugar. You can make it yourself as well: just grind it very long with some oil. It will first become powder and after a while it will start to release the oil.
