Gluten-Free Quinoa Noodles
I made up this gluten-free quinoa noodles recipe when I was craving chicken and noodles. It's based on the Betty Crocker recipe. I use quinoa flour because of its increased nutritional content. Plus, as anyone following a gluten-free diet knows, we constantly get tired of the same old stuff, and quinoa has great flavor.
