What Brand Of Pasta Do You All Buy?

Share with us what you buy.

 

I have tried EVERYTHING and prefer BiAglut. It's an Italian brand of gluten-free products, has been produced in Italy for more than 45 years by the Italian affiliate of H. J. Heinz Company.

It taste EXACTLY like real wheat pasta. I order the different pasta's we use a few times a year.  The best thing about this pasta is that you can serve it to non-gluten-free people and they don't notice the difference. It is certainly the BEST of the best.

 

 

It's GLUTEN-FREE, WHEAT FREE, MILK FREE AND EGG FREE.
Ingredients: Cornstarch, Potato Flour, Lupin Flour, Lupin Proteins, Mono and Diglycerides (Emulsifier).

We like Open Original Shared Link.

The three we buy regularly are Brown Rice Spaghetti, Brown Rice Elbows, and Brown Rice Lasagne. We have tried the White Rice Spaghetti, but don't like it as much as the brown rice version.

yeah, we buy the tinkyada, too.  i hadn't found a good sub for egg noodles until i found some in a rinky-dink beach grocery in florida and the brand is:  seitenbacher.  they are made in germany - very light and delicate.  my husband likes them better than 'regular' with his stroganoff :)  you can order them online.

I agree on the Bi-Aglut and on another fantastic Italian pasta.....Le Veneziane.   Open Original Shared Link

It is as good, if not slightly better, than the Bi-Aglut.  I rank either one as the best I have ever tasted but you have to be able to tolerate corn products.  Some people like the rice pasta

but it's more a question of texture for me.  I have fooled people with the Bi-Aglut and Veneziane, which is not so easy to do!

I buy a rice macaroni in bulk (I get the unopened boxes) for something like $1.25 a pound. It is every bit as good as Tinkyada. I was getting penne the same way at an ever so slightly higher price but it just doesn't hold up real well. I think I'm switching to those quinoa pagoda thingers in the blue box. I tried some last month when they were on sale and they're really good.

In the UK I like Doves Farm rice pasta. Penne, twirls and spaghetti are all good, and hold up pretty well.

Tinkyada does nothing for me (sorry!) but I prefer making it myself. When I don't, I like one brand I found that has a millet/buckwheat combo as well as sweet potato. Nicer than plain rice or corn but I do not know the name. Great flavour and texture.

After trying some REALLY bad ones, I settled on Hodgson Mill brown rice penne and I'm really happy with it.

Bi-Aglut  is one  of the best....  for  fresh pasta,  Rp's  is  excellent , I use  that  for  cold pasta  salads , holds up  wonderful......there are  a  few  new  brands  that  will be  available  later  in the year.... Tinkyada

 

is  not  a  favorite  but it  is  an  easy  find....

With  Bi-Aglut  most  gluten  eaters  have  no idea  they  are  eating  gluten-free pasta....

Yes, my daughter, her husband and kids didn't believe BiAglut was gluten free, I had to get a package and let them, read Gluten Free on it.

We started out with brown rice pasta but didn't like the texture, switched to the Quinoa pasta but after a while I really disliked the taste, it had such a CORN flavor then a friend told me about Bi-AGlut and we fell in love.

I buy mostly brown rice pasta, and that cheap asian vermicelli from Kroger. Sometime I use corn pasta when I want to thicken a soup or sauce, because that stuff is starchy.  :blink:

I've been eating a lot of corn pasta lately, usually Sammills (they sell it for a good price at my local grocery). I find it holds up better than rice pasta. Or I go down to the Italian grocery and splurge on some good imported italian stuff. They've really got it right! I usually get a rice/corn mix if I'm making dinner for someone or taking potluck, as it's more like "real" pasta

There's also someone in Toronto making pasta from red lentils, beans, a couple other things. It's expensive, so have only gotten the red lentil rotini a couple times. Very hardy.

 

If i was in the US, I would definitely be ordering some of that fresh stuff. Oooh ravioli...

I've had good luck with the rice & corn pasta at Target. It's the store brand, Archer Farms, & it's made in Italy.  I've tried several rice-only brands, & they seemed really starchy. One brand turned the cooking water gelatinous.  However, Target has no dedicated gluten-free section (in spite of my FB posts...lol) so you'll have to look for it in the pasta section.

Very nice tips!! I went to the Whole food store or Market today :) I bought a couple small bags I don't remember what kind they were! I will have to run down and look ... I am a lil apprehensive to try it!! Never have b4.  I bought the ones that looked "more" normal. I was going to try them 1st then try them on hubbs and see if he likes them. My daughter is vegetarian she said the rice noodles are really good!! We will see!! :)

We adore Asian rice noodles. We have 12 kinds of Asian noodles including mung bean, green bean, cornstarch, glass, vermicelli, etc. All good and naturally gluten free. I do a lot of Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. cooking.

      Hi KnittyKitty, Like Belle I have read all your info with great interest and made notes to do a bit of research. It really is a minefield isn't it? Im already on that autoimmune bandwagon you mention - vitiligo, premature ovarian failure (at 39), hypothyroidism, Addison's and now dermatitis herpetiformis.

      @suek54, Testing for nutritional deficiencies is considered part of proper follow up care for those with Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  The malabsorption of nutrients is common in both.  The problem is doctors don't know much about nutrition. Doctors aren't required to take many hours of instruction in nutrition.  They are taught outdated information which doesn't apply to clinical practice.  They attend medical schools funded by pharmaceutical companies and taught to prescribe drugs to treat symptoms, not discover the source of the illness.  There are many diseases that would benefit from proper nutrition.  Arthritis, MS, vitiligo, infertility,  and Diabetes are just a few. Do be sure to visit Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' site where I learned so much about thiamine... https://hormonesmatter.com/genetic-thiamine-deficiency-ravaged-my-family/ https://hormonesmatter.com/familial-beriberi-discovering-lifelong-genetic-thiamine-deficiency/ https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Hi KnittyKitty, Like Belle I have read all your info with great interest and made notes to do a bit of research. It really is a minefield isn't it? Im already on that autoimmune bandwagon you mention - vitiligo, premature ovarian failure (at 39), hypothyroidism, Addison's and now dermatitis herpetiformis. I'm stopping there,  any more would just be greedy don't you think!😂 One of my two brothers had rheumatoid arthritis, his daughter has MS, my other brother had pernicious anaemia, all autoimmune. The force seems to be strong in our family. Interestingly,  my grandmother had frequent bouts of sickness and diarrhoea all her life, poor love. No-one ever got to the bottom of it. I wonder if she too had coeliacs? dermatitis herpetiformis is horrid but the dapsone 100mg has now cleared my skin. Im still getting some itching and prickling, but nothing to see. Im hoping that will stop in time. My bloods are holding well, no side effects that I'm aware of.  You seem to have access to a lot more tests in the USA than we do here in UK. Our NHS is brilliant but only with private health insurance could we get all the tests you mention. Hey ho, perhaps I'll win the lottery then I shall have the whole raft of tests.  Thank you so much for all the info.  Sue

      @BelleDeJour, The genetics are fascinating.  I'm very curious about what your genetic test would show.  My dad was a smoker, too.  Tobacco acts as an antihistamine.  Histamine levels increase in the immune response to gluten.  My mother had headaches, gastro symptoms, and thyroid problems.  She developed nodules and had to have her thyroid removed.  This is common in thirty percent of patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.  I've got two Celiac genes, so they both must have had Celiac.    The thyroid and the pancreas use a great deal of thiamine, as do the brain and heart.  Thiamine deficiency can be localized in one organ.  Thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, Gastrointestinal Beriberi, has the same symptoms as Celiac Disease, abdominal pain, acid reflux, bloating, sibo, gastroparesis, diarrhea and constipation.  Thiamine deficiency localized in the pancreas reduces insulin production and results in diabetes.  In the thyroid, Hashimoto's is related to thiamine deficiency.  Headaches and migraines can be a result of thiamine deficiency.  My mother at 67 developed Glioblastoma Multiforme, brain cancer.  My dad had a Triple A (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm) which is also linked to thiamine deficiency.  It was caught in time, but he later died of pneumonia after chemo for lung cancer at 81.  Thiamine deficiency is commonly found in all types of cancer.   I'm so glad you're going to look into Benfotiamine.  Do take all the rest of the B vitamins as well as Benfotiamine.  They all work together, but Thiamine also does a whole bunch of wonderful stuff by itself, so taking more than just the recommended daily allowance is beneficial.  Our metabolic need for thiamine increases when we're sick, emotionally stressed, or exercise regularly.  Thiamine in all its forms is safe and nontoxic.  There's no upper limit.  I've been taking high dose thiamine for over a decade.  Do get checked for other nutritional deficiencies like Vitamins D, A, and C, all very important in skin health, as well as magnesium (works with thiamine) and iron. I love your comment about "digesting the wealth of information" and it being gluten free!   There's no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance.  So thankful I can share the wealth!   Do keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty thank you so much for that wealth of information which I shall take time to digest (because it's gluten free 😀). I will make notes in preparation of my Derm appointment next week. The genetic link is interesting. My parents both died 20 years ago, in their mid-60's. Both were always very active, healthy diet etc. but my father was a smoker (always smoked outside, even when we were children). My mother died from pancreatic cancer at 64 and always had problematic gastro symptoms from childhood - and regular migraines, used to complain of bloating. I had a 'lightbulb' moment a few weeks ago and I do really feel she may have been Celiac.  The iodine used in dyes is interesting, it could have been that in the sweets - they were RED! 🫢 I had read about B vitamins being good for dermatitis herpetiformis before and am taking them (I think it's just a B vitamin combination I have currently). I will look into getting Benfotiamine.

      @BelleDeJour, Have you thought about keeping a food mood poo'd journal?  Recording what and when you eat can help pinpoint possible culprits for your outbreaks.  A red dye additive used in some foods and drinks contains iodine.   Have you considered getting a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  Having Celiac genes and a positive response to a gluten free diet can be used as part of a diagnosis of Celiac Disease without undergoing a gluten challenge.   Do get checked for Diabetes.  Activated Neutrophils are involved in making dermatitis herpetiformis blisters and they are also found in Diabetes.  Apparently, high glucose levels contribute to activating Neutrophils.  People with dermatitis herpetiformis have a 22% increased risk of developing Diabetes.  One study found a majority of people with dermatitis herpetiformis have four or more autoimmune diseases (Addison's, dermatitis herpetiformis, Diabetes, and thyroiditis being the most common). I have dermatitis herpetiformis and I developed Type Two Diabetes.  Ninety-eight percent of diabetics are deficient in Thiamine.  I changed my diet to the AutoImmune Protocol Diet and took Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, that has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity.  I no longer have any symptoms of diabetes. Because half of Celiacs carry the MTHFR mutation, I supplement with methylated B vitamins.  Many of the B vitamins, including thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, improve the neuropathy that goes along with dermatitis herpetiformis (that itchiness without a blemish).   I take additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  Benfotiamine promotes intestinal health.  Thiamine TTFD improves Gluten Ataxia, brain fog, and fatigue.   I use J. Crow's  Lugol's iodine because I have had hypothyroidism.  It's rapidly absorbed through the skin, so it doesn't trigger the immune system in the digestive system.  Thiamine deficiency is also found in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.   And... Thiamine has been shown to calm down Neutrophils.  Calmed down Neutrophils don't make dermatitis herpetiformis blisters.  My skin has improved so much!   Hope this helps!
