I never thought I’d see the day when my kids begged for cauliflower, lentils, and peas for dinner, but they can’t get enough of the Veggiecraft Farms spaghetti! They’re great for families with food allergies because they’re gluten-free and dairy-free. On top of that, the Veggiecraft Farms website has some great pasta recipes that don’t take long at all to prepare, and the high protein from the vegetables means full stomachs and happy faces in our household!
