Tips & Notes
Pro tips
Don't overcook gluten-free pasta—it breaks down faster than wheat pasta. Taste at the minimum recommended time.
Chop spinach finely before adding so it wilts evenly and distributes throughout the dish.
Pit and chop kalamata olives fresh just before serving to avoid bitterness from pre-cut varieties.
Toss pasta with olive oil while still warm so it coats evenly and flavors meld together.
Substitutions
Kalamata olives → green olives or Castelvetrano olives (flavor changes from robust to milder or buttery)
Casa De Santé Tuscan Herb seasoning → dried Italian herbs or oregano + thyme blend (adjust to taste)
Spinach → arugula or Swiss chard (cooking time may increase slightly for chard)
Storage & make-ahead
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 2 days; reheat gently on stovetop with a splash of olive oil or water to restore moisture.
Common Questions
Is this recipe truly Low FODMAP?
Yes. It uses gluten-free pasta, spinach, olives, olive oil, and Tuscan herbs—all low-FODMAP ingredients. Avoid garlic or onion-containing seasonings.
Can I use regular pasta instead of gluten-free?
Yes, but it won't be gluten-free. The recipe structure remains the same; cooking time may vary slightly.
How do I know when the pasta is done?
Cook GF pasta according to package directions—usually 8–12 minutes. Test for al dente texture 1 minute before the recommended time.
Can I make this ahead?

Extra virgin olive oil adds the most flavor. Use a high-quality brand for best results in this simple, ingredient-forward dish.
