Raw Goat Cheese and Seafood baked Mostacholi!

This was a creation that both Cheese Louise and I discovered just by seeing what we randomly had in our refrigerator. It ended up being just delicious!!


Ingredients:
1/2 bag of Trader Joe's Gluten free Penne Pasta
2 tsp unrefined extra virgin olive oil
1 bag seafood mix of your choice (I used calamari, shrimp, scallops combo)
3/4 jar of organic, sugar free marinara sauce
3 mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch of spinach, chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 bunch of fresh basil, or a 1/2 teaspoon of dried chopped basil
Raw goat cheese - Use desired amount
One large deep skillet/wok
One medium sized casserole dish

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
Cook your gluten free noodles almost to the full amount, leave them slightly firm. While the noodles are cooking, rinse and drain your seafood, and throw it in a skillet with 1tsp olive oil. Let that cook slowly for about 4 minutes.
Next add your mushrooms and garlic, and let that all simmer together for 1 minute.
Add your spinach and pasta sauce - Let that simmer another 5 minutes on low-medium heat.
When the noodles are all finished, drain and rinse with cold water. Throw the noodles in with the seafood veggie mix and cook for about 1 minute.
Grab your casserole dish and put one layer of pasta sauce on the bottom, along with another tsp of olive oil.
Put half of the pasta mixture in the dish and top with freshly shredded raw goat cheese.
Add the other half of the mixture, and top off with more shredded goat cheese.
Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 10 minutes.
Thats it!!!
Enjoy! This is not dairy free, but it is gluten free! Ive been eating raw goat cheese now because it doesnt bother my stomach like cows cheese does. Although some may not agree, I believe raw cheese is also better for you due to the unpasturization process. It has all the original nutrients and enzymes that is extracted during the pasturization process.
