You can get spaghetti and curly pasta made from quinoa. I'm not sure, but there may be some wheat used to make them. It has it's own flavor, so the more delicate sauces will get lost. Marinara and garlic sauces are great. It also comes in a form similar to rice. Great for a simple side dish or pasta salad.

Make it just like you make oatmeal with just a little more water and cook it just a little longer. It's pretty hard to mess up quinoa - trust me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn Schneider" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2011 8:12 PM Subject: [CnD] Seeking recipes and info about quinoa > Yesterday, my sister made a delicious side dish with vegetables and a > grain called quinoa.
