I am trying to branch out a little in our gluten free-everyone is eating it tonight for dinner world...those of you that have been around do your kids (gluten-free and non gluten-free-ers) like the Tinkyada pasta or do you have another brand that they like?? <_<

Do you make your own sauce?? If you buy it, do you know if you can get a gluten free alfredo sauce?? I know some red sauces that are gluten-free.

Tinkyada is the only gluten-free pasta brand my family will eat. They even like the spinach fettacine. Friends have had it and not known it was any different than "regular" pasta. My child also likes Annie's brand gluten-free Macaroni and Cheese.

My whole family likes Tinkyada. We eat the spaghetti, elbow macaroni and spirals and have tried the lasagne too. They're all good. I don't ever make "regular" noodles and have served it to company numerous times. I make my own sauce, so sorry I can't help you.

Went to a family gathering a couple weeks ago in Canada, and my grandmother surpeised me with a gluten-free lasagna she made with Tinkyada noodles. It was so good I started crying. :)

Tinkyada is the BEST pasta ever!!!!!!!!!! (notice I didn't say gluten free, it's just the best ever!!!)

anyway, we eat it, hubby couldn't tell the difference and he is "pasta picky" because he isn't gluten free.

The kids love it, it doesn't get all mushy like normal "gluten-free" pasta does.

I give it an A++

Thanks...my kids are kind of finiky when it comes to pasta and I just hate to make a batch of something and then they all turn their noses up at it!!

Ihave also found a good alfredo sauce recipe (I hope!!)

We will see how it goes tonight...we also make cinnimon rolls last night for the kids this morning and they were thrilled to have those again!! :D

Thanks for your help!!

no kids, but I like tinkyada, and my husband's family likes it (and they're italian!).

(I make my own sauces, but am CF so wouldn't make alfredo anyway...)

All my kiddos, and hubby, love Tinkyada. It's the best we've tried so far....the only brand we haven't tried is the expensive Italian one, that I can't remember the name of.

As far as sauces, we use Ragu, or the Walmart brand. Both have gluten free sauces. From what I have found, most sauces are gluten free, but I always call to double check. The great thing about calling too, is that many companies will send you coupons and a gluten free product list.

Do you mean RISO pasta?

My husband went to an italian market last weekend and showed up with a bag of Riso Fettucinni. Man, was so expensive...I'm gonna try it this weekend with sundried tomato and basil pesto.

We're big fans of Tinkyada here. It cooks up so nicely and doesn't become a gluey mess if overcooked. It tastes like regular pasta, even my autistic son can't tell the difference.

I can't help with the sauce though, I make my own.

Classico sauces are gluten-free, even the white sauces. I love their alfredo on some tinkayada pasta. Tasty stuff!! Enjoy.

Which of the Classico Sauces are gluten-free?

All of the Classico red and white sauces are gluten-free.

I've recently switched all of the "family" pasta in our house to tinkyada, hubby & the other kids have not noticed ;) . It tastes just like regular wheat pasta--we love it!

My family loves Tinkyada also. We have just recently switched from wheat pasta. I am dairy allergic as well so unfortunately can't have the alfredo. The vegan alfredo that was really good has soy products in it which I'm also allergic too. Anyone interested in a vegan alfredo sauce let me know and I'll post it. Has a lot of soy in it. Actually, I'm not sure it's gluten free. The vegan sour cream might have glycerides in it. Didn't I read somewhere that that has gluten in it or was that a mistake. The sour cream is tofutti better than sour cream. Since I'm not eating soy I haven't checked to see if some of my old favs are gluten free or not. :(

Ditto - we switched because I threw all the regular pasta away and they had no choice. Everyone LOVES it - including the neighbors and my dad.

I have tried others but was already spoiled by the BEST.

I tried the Tinkyada lasagna noodles last week for the first time and I was SO impressed. We used Mrs. Leeper's before that and it was "just ok". My kids and my husband all thought it was the real thing. I haven't tried the elbows yet, but they're calling my name and yelling for me to make macaroni. :D By the way...does anyone know how to make a good macaroni and cheese "cheese sauce"? I use the recipe on the :ph34r: velveeta :ph34r: and it just doesn't turn out good.

Go to walmart, get the "real" thing. Kraft puts the "cheese" out in a shaker can. Its the same powder thats in thier mac and cheese boxes. Its gluten-free and many ppl here use it with great success. I have only seen it at Walmart, but you might see it at other grocery stores. It looks like a shaker for putting cheese on popcorn. Often found near the "shelf stable" cheeses.

I have a vegan recipe I use. It uses cashews and water to make a cashew milk. Plus other ingredients including yeast flakes. I've heard those are a no-no but haven't had any definitive answer. Does anyone know why yeast flakes would be bad? :( If they are o.k. then I have two "cheese" recipes I combine to make macaroni and cheese. :D

If you are going to use regular cheese I don't have an exact recipe, but block cheese is much better and much healthier than velveeta. I used to use velveeta when I was a teenager to make macaroni and cheese. Don't remember what I did but it's probably similar to cheese. You would want to use both cheddar and monterey jack. Make a white sauce add the cheese and seasonings (garlic and onion powders). If I remember correctly I also used a little bit of celery salt or ground celery seeds. I'm sorry I don't have measurements. I just brought my family back off of a vegan diet as I am allergic to the main staples of soy and wheat. I am also allergic to dairy so I can't make that mac & cheese anymore. I have a feeling that's a more permanent allergy since I hadn't eaten cheese except at church potlucks when it couldn't be avoided for 3 years. Maybe it's just that I was allergic to wheat/soy already and have had some damage I didn't know about. :unsure:

Hope this helps a little bit.

I used to make the one in the Betty Crocker cook book - it always worked and never failed.

Everyone in my house loves Tinkyada. The first time I made it my husband asked what I was going to eat because he couldn't believe it was gluten-free. That is the only gluten free pasta we will eat now. I have to try the lasagna noodles. I used to make lasagna all the time before going gluten free. My husband has been asking for some, but I am scared to use regular gluten free noodles.

I've seen a lot of products that include nutritional yeast and are gluten-free. Here's a couple:

I do the cashew stuff on pasta too and it's awesome. You don't even need the yeast. Just use 1.5 cups raw cashews, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon italian herbs, 1 teaspoon dill, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt and lemon (1/4 cup?) Blend in a blender. I think that's the recipe (going off the top of my head - I make it often. I actually only use 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic, onion and salt.) It's great on everything, including pasta.

Love Tinkyada and so does my son (who is not gluten-free yet). I make mac & cheese with the Kraft can of mac & cheese powder and it tastes just like the stuff from the box...YUM!! DS had 3 bowls the other night!

DD won't touch it, but she hasn't even tasted it (she is 3.5). If it doesn't look like Kraft Mac & Cheese, she wont' touch it.

For Lasagna I use Debole's No Boil noodles. No one can even tell that they aren't wheat.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
