Why it works

Celiac disease: The whole dish rides on certified gluten-free pasta, so every twirl is worry-free.
Milk allergy: No dairy anywhere: roasted squash and cashews make the sauce rich and cheesy-tasting.

Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.

Cooking for more than one diet?

Add everyone you cook for, with their allergies, diets and ages. Gluten checks this recipe for each of them and tells you what to change for anyone who can’t eat it as written. It’s free.
