- 1cup tagliatellerinsed and drained

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the almonds on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 5 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the turmeric, curry, cumin spices and stir for 1-2 minutes (until aromatic). Take off heat, pour into a clean small bowl and set aside.
- Using the same medium saucepan, pour in the water and bring to boil. Add the rinsed quinoa to the saucepan and let simmer on low heat for about 12-15 minutes, stirring every so often until the liquid has dissolved and the quinoa is cooked.
- Once cooked, turn off heat and place a lid on the quinoa and let it “fluff” for 5 minutes. Take lid off and give it a good stir.
- Place the quinoa in a large bowl. Add toasted almonds, parsley, and raisins and toss. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and toss. Add more if desired.
