Recently I found this Gluten-Free Pasta shells from the gluten free brand Consenza. I was so happy that I can finally make stuffed pasta. I haven’t had stuffed pasta in years. Since I’ve started eating gluten-free I usually always found only 4 types of pasta (panne, fusilli, spaghetti, and tagliatelle). Yeah, a gluten-free diet can be quite boring. So can you imagine my happiness when I found these gluten free pasta shells by Consenza! I really felt like I’ve found gold rather than pasta, I’m not even joking. The first thing that popped in my head was to make Low FODMAP Ricotta and Spinach Stuffed Pasta Shells. My mom used to make them for me when I was little and I’ve missed them so much.

*FODMAP Tips:
*If using store-bought marinara sauce, read the ingredients list as there might be onion or garlic in some.
*If you are using store-bought garlic-infused olive oil, make sure there are no floating bits of garlic in it. You can also make Garlic Infused olive oil at home by frying garlic cloves in the olive oil until they are golden and fragrant. Then remove them from the oil and continue cooking your meal.
*Ricotta Cheese is low FODMAP in 40g per portion.
*As a general rule always read the labels of the ingredients that you use as there can be sneaky FODMAP’s in any product. To educate yourself of which foods are high in FODMAP’s I’d strongly recommend downloading Monash Unversity FODMAP Diet App
