This looks delicious!!! I so love and miss Pasta!! I am hesistant to try Lentil pasta after having it once before and winding up glutened. Ugh…cross contamination at the pasta company.
Yeah, cross contamination is definitely not fun and it can make you distrust certain foods, but just look for brands that are certified gluten free and made in dedicated GF facilities to be on the safe side. The brand I used here is certified GF.
