Gluten Free Noodle Casserole
If you can cook some ground beef in a frying pan for a few minutes, you can make this recipe. Trust me, the smell of this gluten-free casserole cooking in the oven will get everyone in the kitchen hungry, and when they take their first bite, ...you’ll go from being known as the dummy in the kitchen to the hero. I promise you, if you are gluten free, and even if you are not, you will say “buonissimo” like my husband did when you take your first bite. You can make this recipe with any jovial brown rice pasta shape, but I think the Egg Tagliatelle make it extra special. Our tomatoes are so flavorful right out of the jar, there is no need to stand over the stove stirring a Bolognese meat sauce. Make this tonight and tell us how you liked it!

How to Make An Easy Gluten Free Noodle Casserole

This recipe is super easy to make! Here’s how.

First, you’ll want to preheat the oven and oil your baking dish. Then brown the meat and set to one side. In a large bowl, mix together the tomatoes, water, sour cream, Pecorino, mozzarella, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Then mix in cooked meat.

Break the tagliatelle noodles into smaller pieces, then add the dry noodles to the bowl and stir to combine with the sauce, making sure the noodles are coated. Add the pasta to the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining grated Pecorino and shredded mozzarella on top.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges of the noodles begin to brown.

Let stand for 5 minutes and serve. Simple as that.
