Gluten Free Quinoa Mac And Cheese Crock Pot
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
Gluten Free Quinoa Mac And Cheese Recipe
Olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons
Large onion, 1/2, finely chopped
Chard, 1/2 large bunch, stems trimmed, leaves chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Heavy cream, 1/2 cup (4 fl oz/125 ml)
Gluten-free elbow or shell pasta, 8 oz (250 g), (I like Ancient Harvest)
Fresh sage, 1 tablespoon minced
Gluten-free bread, 1 slice, ground to crumbs in a food processor (about 1/2 cup/1 oz/30 g crumbs)
Aged Gruyère cheese, 1 cup (about 3 oz) grated
Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons freshly grated
How To Make It
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion and sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the chard and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until the chard is tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cream and remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot three-fourths full of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and stir well. Cook until the pasta is al dente, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.
- In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add the sage and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the breadcrumbs and cook until browned and crisp, stirring frequently—about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (4 fl oz/125 ml) of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta. Add the pasta to the skillet with the chard. Add both kinds of cheese and stir over medium heat until the cheeses melt and the pasta is coated, thinning with the pasta cooking liquid as needed. Season to taste with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Divide the pasta among 4 warmed plates. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and serve right away.

Simple Quinoa says, “This recipe is also totally kid- and allergy-friendly. Not gluten, dairy, eggs, soy or nuts, but with the creamy, cheesy flavor of mac and cheese. Plus since there’s broccoli, we even sneak in some healthy green veggies.
So this version of quinoa mac and cheese is a bit different than my others. For starters, you don’t have to bake it. You also don’t have to blend anything up; the whole thing is made in just one pot. Third, it’s naturally vegan, but still massively cheesy because of the nutritional yeast…”
