    July 30, 2019

    Being Italian, at least 2 meals a week were some sort of pasta dish.  As much as I love pasta, my tummy can’t always handle a heaping bowl of gluten-laden spaghetti…and I’m not a die hard fan of rice pasta. I have found a true love for Nupasta konjac noodles. These noodles are made from…
