Ronzoni gluten-free Pasta

I've mentioned how happy I am that one of our grocery stores now has a gluten-free section. Well yesterday I found a new gluten-free item in the regular aisle. Ronzoni gluten-free pasta! It is made with white rice, brown rice, corn and quinoa. And right on the box it says, "Made in a dedicated gluten-free facility".

 

The regular pasta was $1.89 a box. (12 oz.) This was $2.35. I bought a bunch at that price!

 

I went home and made a "pizza casserole". I cooked the rotinni (the corkscrew shaped things) and used a jarred sauce (I CAN make a good from scratch sauce but I didn't bother.) I bought some pepperoni and mozarella. Fried the pepperoni to remove the grease and get the edges crispy. Then I mixed it in with the sauce and pasta. I layered the pasta, then some cheese, more pasta, more cheese, etc. Kind of like lasagna.

 

It was good. The pasta had a great taste and texture. And I found out for sure that corn doesn't bother me at all anymore. This is a "product of Italy" where they do not allow GMO corn and that's nice to know too. I like Tinkyada but it's about twice the price here so from now on Ronzoni it is.

I've been using this too. I like it. And the price is better than a lot of other ones too.

I was excited to see this product as well. I still prefer tinkyada given the option, but I often do Ronzoni if I need to be budget conscious that week.

Not Ronzoni, but has anybody tried the Barilla gluten free brand? I'm seeing that there's an option to subscribe to them on Amazon and the price is pretty good.

Ronzini and Tinkys are better than Barilla.  Tinkys lasagna noodles are a must, otherwise I use Ronzini.  This is, of course, my NOT expert opinion  B)

I am very happy with the Ronzoni as well. The Barilla is 100% corn and my stomach just can't handle it. 

 

My pasta of choice is Bionaturae - but it is double the price of the Ronzoni :(

I love Bionaturae too, it's the best one that I've ever had. I wish that it wasn't so expensive! I might throw a couple of bags of it on my Vitacost subscription though.

Hi I have ordered Barilla and I am waiting for it to arrive within the next week from Amazon...I have been using Heartland, and quite honestly it is really excellent!!  I just thought I should try Barilla to see which one I prefer, both are from Amazon.

Well, I know a lot of folks here like Tinkyada but I just did a side-byside taste test. I had some Tinkyada in the cupboard and just a little bit of the Ronzoni left. I had them with chicken and broccoli and just put butter on it.

 

The Ronzoni won hands down! The Tinkyada had a kind of wet cardboard smell. The Ronzoni smelled like pasta. With no spaghetti sauce to mask the flavor it was obvious. The Ronzoni also had a better texture (IMO). And when you think about it it makes sense. The best baking mixes are a blend of different types of flours, so why wouldn't the best pasta be made with a blend too?

 

And it costs less! I'll be going to buy some more after work tonight. :)

I have used the Barilla for awhile now and really like it.  It cooks up well and reheats well with a little water added before microwaving.  Walmart had a great price on the Barilla gluten free so I stocked up.  I do have a box of Ronzoni so now I am anxious to try it to see how it compares. 

 

DeLallo also makes a gluten free imported Italian Orzo (used in rice pilaf and such) you can get off of Amazon but you have to buy in bulk.  You can also get it from Walmart which less money per package but you have to buy more packages in bulk for it.

      Major Glutening

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wro...

      Gluten Allergy

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6. Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok. P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together. Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance. If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac...

      @Rejoicephd, I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my severe deficiency quickly. It's safe to do this. I felt much better once my Vitamin D level was about eighty ng/mL. Vitamin D works as a hormone and helps calms the immune system between 80 - 100 ng/mL. High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation Can Correct Hypovitaminosis D Prior to Total Knee...

      Thanks @knitty kitty for keeping me thinking about the importance of vitamins. And I appreciate you sending those papers (gives me something for my science brain to work through! I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my ...

      Major Glutening

      By FayeBr · Posted

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wrong. I had gastritis which is awful and lots of other neuro and body symptoms that I get when Glutened. I always find it difficult to think straight too because of the brain fog and fatigue so this wasn’t helping me think logically. And then the lightbulb moment of the medication. I emailed the company in my gluten haze (by this time the symptoms were awful and reminded me of my pre gluten free days) and they responded saying although it states ‘this product does not contain gluten’ they could not guarantee it didn’t have gluten in it from manufacturing processes etc etc. I stopped it just over 2 weeks ago. I had been taking it for 6 weeks. So in the last few weeks I have started to improve from being bedridden with fatigue and aches/pains,  gastritis, abdominal pain and GI problems, brain fog, mental health symptoms, pins and needles, migraines and much more to just about functioning. I feel I have done so much damage to my body and it’s such a set back. But my question is has anyone else had a major episode like this and how long did it take to recover? I still have symptoms now and it’s been over 2 weeks. I’m afraid I have made my Ataxia worse and the panic attacks and anxiety are through the roof. I’d forgotten what that was like. But any thoughts or experiences would help. Thank you.

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6.  Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok.  P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together.  Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance.  If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac, then all the B vitamins will be poorly absorbed.  Taking a B Complex in addition to extra thiamine (Benfotiamine) is safe.  The B vitamins and Vitamin C are water soluble.  Any excess is urinated out.  I took a B 50 Complex twice a day to increase absorption.   Try taking Magnesium Threonate (Neuro-Mag by Life Extension).  Magnesium Threonate can get into the brain easily.  The brain needs magnesium, too, but other forms don't cross the blood-brain barrier as well.   The first time I took Magnesium Threonate, it felt like my brain relaxed.  I highly recommend it.   How's your Vitamin D level?

      Thanks @knitty kitty for keeping me thinking about the importance of vitamins. And I appreciate you sending those papers (gives me something for my science brain to work through! I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my last blood test so I know I’m back to being deficient there (it did go up for a while but back down again). Whomp whomp. So I’ll be both reading about and taking vitamins. Thanks again for your input. Really appreciate it.
