Gluten free sundried tomatoes and asparagus with parmesan and rice noodles

This is a perfect lunch for those who have to eat gluten free, but the flavour is still lovely and intense from the tomatoes. It’s a great quick lunch for 2, but if you need more, simply double up or treble up the quantities!
