Gluten-Free Quinoa Noodles

Pasta and Noodle - Dinner

I made this one up myself when I was really wanting chicken and noodles. It's based on the Betty Crocker® recipe. I use quinoa flour because of the increased nutritional content. Plus, as any GF person knows, we get real tired of the same old stuff constantly, and quinoa has a great flavor.
