I have always been a picky eater when it comes to consuming animal products, especially shrimp scampi recipe. However several years ago I finally decided to take the plunge and become a dedicated vegetarian. Little did I know that it would be the best thing that ever happened to my diet, in terms of variety. Once I decided to avoid meat I realized I would need to open myself up to eating anything else in order to maintain a level of variability in my diet that kept it interesting. Thus I began learning how to prepare gourmet vegetarian meals. To my delight, I found these meals to be delicious and more interesting than the meat I had consumed for much of my life. It was as if vegetarians overcompensated in making their recipes, adding spices and foodstuffs that more than made up for the absence of meat on the plate. After several years, I’ve become convinced that I never made a decision to give up meat and shrimp. Instead I made a decision to allow a wider variety of foods into my diet.

Usually, the base of a gluten free pasta is brown rice flour. However, there are new gluten free fresh pasta recipes being developed everyday in order to improve on the texture of the pasta. Some other popular choices of flour are millet, quinoa, and teff. These flours will add a nice protein content to your pasta without the gluten.
In general, gluten free pasta dough is more crumbly and more difficult to roll out than regular pasta dough, but it takes just a bit of experimentation to find a dough that works for you.
