Note

Low Chemical / FAILSAFE

This recipe is gluten-free if you use gluten-free pasta.  I use Olive Green Organics Amaranth & Rice Penne.

If amines are OK, or you are doing the amines challenge, add 100g grated cheese instead of cream cheese.

This recipe makes a great base for adding other pureed, mashed or finally chopped vegetables, or finely chopped allowed cooked  meats.  Stir them in at step 5.

Refer here for the No-Tomato Sauce and Pear Sauce recipes.
