I don’t know about you guys but it seems like our weeknights are always busy. Pasta is an easy dish to make but I always find myself making my go to gluten-free spaghetti. This gluten-free seafood pasta with lemon capers will change up your traditional pasta game without taking up too much extra time. The best part is that because of the addition of BELA Brand Sardines, your family will be getting lots of omega-3’s and healthy fats.

BELA Brand Seafood provides Portuguese sardines packed in either water or olive oil. For this recipe I chose the lemon flavored olive oil because it just fit so perfectly. The flavor is truly authentic European in taste and quality. They are always packed fresh by hand and never frozen. I have personally never been a fan of sardines until trying these fresh, delicious BELA Brand Sardines. This gluten-free seafood pasta with lemon capers is made complete with a few extra garnishes. We chose grated fresh Parmesan, capers and a delicious bread crumb recipe using Glutino vegetable crackers and white bread.

Anytime I make something gluten-free that traditionally isn’t, like these breadcrumbs, I want to make sure that it is so good nobody would ever know the difference. Glutino crackers and bread help me do just that. They are easy to find at your local grocery store and create an authentic Italian breadcrumb.

While this dish is tasty as a dinner, it also makes a fantastic lunch just before hitting the gym. The gourmet, heart healthy BELA Brand Sardines are a great workout boost food either in this dish or on their own. These sardines are sustainable and also make a fantastic outdoorsy snack while hiking or camping. They definitely offer a more gourmet protein (we are talking 11 grams per serving) than traditional jerky and trail mix.
