Looks delicious, I really enjoy it when you cook Italian, I love Italian food. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Richard. Beautiful pasta dish & I think it would taste just as good without the sausage since you used that gorgeous mushroom base. Love love love artichokes! I would love to try & find the dei Fratelli tomatos here. Sounds like a wonderful product. Thank you for a great recipe. 🙂
Your videos are always fun and informative to watch. Thanks for this!
oh, richard, every time i see a tomato sauce of yours bubbling in the pot all I can think is diving in there with a loaf of bread and a liter of beer! Slurp slurp!
Great recipe Richard. That dish is just exploding with flavor.
I've never tried a vegetarian meatless sausage. I should hunt them down and give this a whirl. Or maybe I'll just use regular sausage if I can't find it.
Sure looks yummy Rich!! Your right about keeping an eye on the GF Pasta!! I hope I can find those canned tomatoes!! Nice job!! 😉 Brenda
Looks good man!
Haven't seen those matters round these parts, of course I dont look much until I run out of my own , LOL, Great recipe Rich…!!!
Another great dish my friend!! This looks like it would be tastey, getting the kids to eat it on the other hand is another story 🙂
I really enjoyed your Gluten Free Vegetarian Pasta Dish! I would have found it quite a challenge to take on this request. The finished dish looks delicious! Great video!

Another hearty, delicious pasta dish Richard.
Richard sometimes it's necessary to switch up from Asian to Italian. You my friend have created a pretty amazing recipe for pasta that anyone that is on a gluten-free diet would die for. I think this recipe would be full flavored without knowing it was designed for a person with these afflictions. Great concept on many levels!
Im italian but i never eat this!
Now I'm nowhere near being a vegetarian, In fact I'm the sort of guy that thinks every meal must have meat in it. With that said I have to say, Damn that looks good !
I am hungry now! Looks great

Wow!!! Thanks Richard, Don't know if I mentioned it before but I'm gluten intolerant, recently the Doc. said I should only eat seafood fruits, and veggies. Seams like he's always telling me to eliminate different foods from my diet, [diary] no eggs, no cheese, no milk, no beef no pork,no chicken etc. I always swore that I would never be vegan, lol may as well face it, because it seams like that's where I'm headed. Thanks for this recipe, hope the meatless sausage taste a lot like the real thing lol. the final product really look delicious, I'll have to give it a try.
Looks yuk no ty
