Simple but gourmet in flavor - all plant-based, clean, and ready to deeply satisfy.
It doesn't matter whether you call it pasta or noodles. It's all completely delicious in my book, and let’s be honest, it's a universal language!
The choices across the globe are endless. When I think of Italian varieties, classics like Spaghetti, Spaghettini, Capellini, Bucatini, Penne, Rigatoni, Farfalle, Orzo, Lasagna, and Tagliatelle instantly come to mind. I've cooked with them all, and along my healing journey, I discovered a vital secret: the highest quality gluten-free pasta options come directly from Italy or Spain.
Our bodies can instantly tell the difference. In the EU, the grain standards are incredibly strict, meaning they aren't sprayed with the same harsh toxins and chemical poisons often found elsewhere. Choosing European-sourced grains is a powerful, clean swap that treats your temple with the deep respect it deserves.
A world of noodles
Beyond Italy, there are so many incredibly fun, plant-based versions of traditional noodle dishes that I love to craft in my kitchen:
Vietnamese: Phở, Bún Riêu, Bún Bò Huế, and Mì Quảng
Thai: Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Khao Soi, and Pad See Ew
Chinese: Chow Mein, Chow Fun, Lo Mein, Hong Kong Style, and Dan Dan
Filipino: Pancit Bihon, Canton, Sotanghon, and Palabok
Japanese: Ramen, Udon, and Soba
European Classics: German Spätzle, Spanish Fideuà, Hungarian Stropacska, and Russian Stroganoff
SWOON! We all love a comforting bowl of noodles. What is your absolute favorite noodle dish of all time?
I love them so much that I dedicated an entire chapter to Noodles and Pasta in my cookbook, featuring simple to gourmet plant-based flavors from around the world. And yes, this vibrant Thai Spaghettini made the top 77 list of gourmet recipes!
The Alchemist’s Lifestyle Tip: Listening to Your Body’s Language
As a Lifestyle Alchemist, I teach people how to clean up their blind spots and sometimes, our biggest blind spots are hidden right in our pantry. If you love pasta but find yourself feeling heavy, bloated, or fatigued after eating it, your body is trying to speak to you.
Try switching to a high-quality, gluten-free option imported directly from Italy or Spain. When you clear out the hidden toxins and feed your body pure, unadulterated ingredients, you’ll find you can enjoy the comforting foods you love while still feeling vibrant, light, and full of energy. Listen to your life, and listen to your body!
