Dairy-free Rosée Sauce

My kids' favorite meal is by far Rosée Sauce over pasta.  They will choose this over any junk food option any day.  So when I went gluten and dairy-free, the first thing I did was look for great healthy gluten-free pasta that was yummy.  After trying many brands, I have narrowed it down to 2 : Tru Roots (which I get at Costco) and the GoGo Quinoa line of products which feature a variety of pasta options and can be found at my local grocery store.  As for a dairy-free Rosée Sauce, my recipe includes shitake mushrooms, which are great for you immune system's overall health and can even improve cholesterol levels.
