And by some I mean at least 10 because today it's raining and snowing. Brown Rice Noodles w/ Tomatoes spinach and nooch sauce Did you know Trader Joe's has loads of veg and gluten free foods? Their Brown Rice pasta is really tasty (when cooked properly..AKA not too long..oops). And the texture makes it a great carrier for creamy sauces.
