Make Your Own Pasta?

I have finally found one brand of corn pasta that is good, but the store is not close. Plus it is only spaghetti, and I wanted some other pasta options. I don't care for the plain rice pasta all that much. Does anyone make their own pasta? I know the recipe is basically flour and water and egg if you want it. I'm trying to find out if it is worth my time and money spent on a pasta press.

Any thoughts? Recipes would be appreciated if you have a good one.

Thanks!

I have made my own with sucess, but even I'll admit, it's a bit time consuming, with a press or not. The actuall process doesn't really take long, but drying does and if you don't dry them, you need to freez and then it gets chewy. Of all the gluten-free cooking I do, pasta is my least favorite.

I have found the best rice pasta at Asian markets, and they have everything from elbow noodles to flat linguini type noodles, even spirals. The only ones I haven't found in the Asian markets are a lasagna and bow tie type noodles.

If your market is far... try and stock up. At least the store bought dry stuff doesn't take up freezer space.

Kathleen,

Have you found that you can't just cook the pasta once you make it? Without drying? I haven't tried making gluten-free pasta, but before I went gluten-free, if I were to make lasagna, I'd pull out my pasta machine (not a press, but a roller type). Same thing if I were to make ravioli. Is there something about the gluten-free pasta recipes that doens't allow fresh pasta to be cooked?

I am a real newbie to celiac disease (diagnosed one week ago) but I was diagnosed in New Zealand, where the product selection is definitely different than in the U.S. One of the few gluten-free products I have tried is a rice/quinoa spaghetti made by Corelli, in Bolivia. I couldn't tell this pasta from regular, not in taste nor texture nor how it cooked, how it was after sitting out, refrigerated as leftovers, nothing. I wonder if any of the US stores offers this brand? I am a baker (using wheat in my previous life ;) ) and know that making your own pasta is a drag even with wheat. Never tried it without, sorry.

When I have made pasta in the past, I have been able to cook it after making it without problems. But if you hadn't worked the dough enough it usually dissintegrates(sp?) in the water if you cook it right away. I don't know if this changes with gluten-free pasta though, but I do cook it right away.

huh... I've never had the semolina pasta I make disintegrate when cooking it right away... Learn something new every day! I'll have to give it a try, because I enjoyed making fresh pasta and thought that - for many dishes - if I had the time, it was worth it. (My husband, who - while Italian, but not celiac - won't touch pasta, would always help me make it, and he was better at it than I am! ;-) )

:) Kathleen,

Have you tried to make lasagna in a round pie pan and use soft corn tortilla's instead of the traditional lasagna shaped pasta. I have done this using more of a mexican seasoning with ground beef, tomato sauce and shredded cheese. Bake 20 minutes at 350F. A great easy substitute!

We have had GREAT success with Ancient Harvest's Quinoa pasta products. If they aren't in the healthfood stores, try mail order. My 11-year-old daughter and I are both celiacs, and her biggest heartbreak was giving up mac 'n' cheese. With these quinoa elbows, you can't tell the difference...just don't overcook! Also, The Gluten-Free Gourmet by Betty Hagman has a whole section on how to make gluten-free pasta. And if you go online to Glutensolutions.com, they will send you a catalog with a bunch of pasta products in it. Good luck and don't give up! Dana

Thanks for all the feed back. I like the idea about the corn tortillas for Mexican Lasagna. Maybe when I have a few hours free, I'll try to make some raviolli.

I buy pasta -- it's just not worth the effort to me. I like Tinkiyada and I just tried Cornitos and it was good too. I do make my own gluten-free ravioli (cheese or beef) and they are quite good, but time consuming to make. I make them in bulk and freeze to use later.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
