Pasta and seafood served up in a classic Italian way! This easy recipe for Gluten-Free Linguine with White Clam Sauce is top allergen-friendly and is ready in 10 minutes with the help of a few shortcut ingredients so you can have a delicious dinner on the table in a flash!

Italians, we like our pasta. We also like our seafood. Fancy to some, gross to others, and a top 8 allergen to a small percent (like my mom). Italians celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve, with various plates of fish and seafood galore. My family never stuck to that whole-heartedly, but we did include some fish and seafood in our Christmas Eve festivities. This specific dish I’m sharing today was one that my mom would make my brother and I when we were growing up. Linguine with White Clam Sauce. We’d use any pasta and the sauce…you better believe it came from a can!Read More

Baked Creamy Vegan Gluten-Free Spinach Artichoke Pasta (Allergy-Free)

October 29, 2018 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 49 Comments

Your favorite party dip transformed into a creamy dairy-free pasta bake! This Baked Creamy Vegan Gluten-Free Spinach Artichoke Pasta is top 8 allergy-free, full of veggies, and cheesy flavor! It’s a cozy recipe for an easy weeknight family dinner that the kids will love too!

Spinach artichoke dip is something I always associate with my mom. She was always the one who jumped at any chance you could indulge in that creamy, cheesy, hot dip. It was something she would always order as an appetizer at restaurants or dig into first at parties and gatherings. Honestly, it was never something I chose to dip my chips into. I much preferred something like this, but alas, it grew on me as I got older (and ironically could no longer have it!) So I took it upon myself to remake spinach artichoke dip into a full on meal! One that’s gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free; most importantly dairy-free!Read More

Mom’s Best Classic Gluten-Free Vegan Baked Ziti (Soy-Free)

October 24, 2018 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 35 Comments

Our family’s favorite famous comfort food recipe, remade! Mom’s Best Classic Gluten-Free Vegan Baked Ziti without the dairy, but still under 5 ingredients! This make-ahead “cheesy” pasta dinner casserole is soy-free too, super easy, delicious, and baked in 20 minutes! Great as a freezer meal or having leftovers throughout the week!

My mom didn’t cook things from scratch much. She was more of a “throw these chicken nuggets in the toaster oven and this packet of rice in a pot” kind of cook. Every so often she would get the urge to make her “famous” baked ziti recipe. While this Italian pasta casserole only needed 4 ingredients (she used jarred sauce), it still tasted like home-cooked comforting love! While I grew up eating her baked ziti, she and I both can’t indulge in the cheesy carby comfort food anymore…until now.Read More
