Rich Man’s Rigatoni

Gluten Free Rigatoni with 2 types of meat, cheese and a robust tomato sauce.

I remember perfecting this dish and the joy that it brought to my family! As a pasta loving family it was so difficult to learn that several of us suffered from gluten intolerance. I couldn’t imagine never eating pasta, bread, cake, cookies or gravies. All of it previously laden with gluten but now happily I have found so many gf options that i started loving exploring all the pasta dishes I could find. This one is called Rich Man’s Pasta because it has 2 meats, 2 cheeses, red wine and herbs that just makes you feel like you are royalty when you have it as a meal. Please feel free to substitute any ingredient to your family’s particular health needs. If wine is not used in your house chicken stock is a tasty alternative to the wine used here. Enjoy this dish and let me know what pasta dish you would love to see a gluten free recipe for.
