GRAIN FREE PASTA TRICOLORE

Steps:

• Cook your pasta in a large pot of water for about 7 minutes (depending on the brand you buy, cooking time may change). If you want to keep the colors separate for a better presentation, you'll need to cook the two colors in two different pots.
• While the pasta is cooking, wash the sage and cut in pieces. In a medium sized saucepan, heat up the olive oil with the sage until the leaves get dark green and crispy.
• Strain your grain free pasta and toss it in the saucepan with the olive oil and sage (do it one color at the time if you care about keeping the colors separate). While you mix it, sprinkle some dried Italian herbs and Himalayan salt on it.
• Transfer the pasta in a plate, top it with some dairy free mozzarella cheese and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top.
• Garnish your dish with some fresh basil and enjoy your grain free Pasta Tricolore!

PENNE TRICOLORE

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the penne rigate until almost done, about 11 minutes. Add the zucchini, summer squash, and carrots and bring back to a boil. Cook until the vegetables and penne are just done, about 2 minutes longer. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the penne and vegetables.
• In a large bowl, toss the pasta, vegetables, 6 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water, olives, basil, Parmesan, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. If the pasta seems dry, add more of the reserved pasta water. Serve with additional Parmesan.
• Seeding Zucchini and Summer Squash:.
• Because the zucchini and summer squash are boiled in this recipe, it's a good idea to seed them first. Otherwise, the pulpy seeds get water-logged. To remove them, cut the zucchini or squash into quarters lengthwise. Then simply cut off the seeds.

TRICOLORE TAGLIATELLE

Steps:

• Immerse the tagliatelle in a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 8-10 minutes until just tender. Meanwhile, mix together the tomatoes, rocket, onion and capers.
• Drain the pasta and return to the pan, off the heat. Pour in the oil and toss until the pasta glistens, then tip in the tomato mixture and toss again. If you're serving it cold, hold the pasta in the sieve under the cold tap until it's cool, then toss in the oil and tomato mixture. Season well, add the ricotta in small blobs and gently toss through.

TRICOLOR PEPPER PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, saute the peppers, onion and mushrooms in oil until tender. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, salt, basil and pepper. Drain pasta; add to vegetables and toss to coat.

INSALATA TRICOLORE

Steps:

• Arrange tomato slices on a serving platter. Lay 1 avocado slice on top of each tomato, and top with fresh mozzarella. Drizzle olive oil, then balsamic vinegar over the tops, and season with salt and pepper.
