I'm having a going away party for our neighbors and I wanted to make a really good pasta salad. I want to use the Tinkyada elbows, but I don't know what else to do. I have no idea where to start. Please help me!!!

I have a simple recipe I use that other people have really liked, and I make it often for a quick side with dinner. I use Tinkyada's elbow or shell noodles, add a can of tuna fish (I use Whole Food's brand, as it's soy free), two hard boiled eggs, mayo (add enough for your own preference), salt, and pepper. Dill is also good in it, too. Very simple, yet yummy!

I have a pasta salad "Recipe" its not really a recipe, just boil the noddles, drain, toss with Kraft Italian dressing,throw in some tomatoes, cucumbers, and grilled chicken if you want some meat in it, we also add some peperoni, and parmesean cheese and refrigrate, serve it cold! its yummy

I use the shell noodles and throw in a can of tuna or chicken. I add celery and cubed cheese. Then I throw in mayo and whatever spices I am in the mood for. I actually brought it to a picnic today and no one could tell it was any different!!

I used to this with regular pasta, and have never used rice pasta or whatever (bless me I hate pasta)

Add olive oil

Oiled sun dried sun roasted tomatoes

Mario's Black Olives

Chopped onions

Garbonzo Beans, or Kidney beans or whatever you choose

Little crushed red peppers

Basil, Tyme, Oregano, or Dill

Pimentos

Slice-up salame (sp)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Garlic Salt

Parsley, or fresh basil

Pesto sauce- basil and olive oil

Fresh tomatoes

Green onions, or chives

I would not use all, but any mixture would work. Anything can go into pasta salad.

I used to also make fresh tortalino's with fresh tomatoes, cucs, onion with a balsamic vinegar dressing and sprinkled with fresh graded parmasan

I don't have a recipe but I just bought Tinkyada tri-color pasta the other day. Y'know the twisty ones like when you go into a deli and get pasta salad. I was gonna make it with some olive oil, garlic, olives, baby corn, tomato put it in the fridge to get cold and then add some pieces of buffalo mozzarella.

Guest nini

does anyone else have a problem with the gluten-free pasta getting all hard and chalky tasting when you put it in the fridge to get cold???

JenAnderson Rookie

Not the tinkyada - other brands yes, that one no - although I've only kept it in the fridge for 3 days max -

I'll also throw in my pasta salad recipe

1 lb shells, spirlas - whatever

1 cup sweet corn

1 cup petite peas (must be petite!!)

1 zucchini, quartered and sliced

1 red onion, sliced thin

1 orange pepper, chopped

1 cup light mayo

3T brown mustard

1T cidar vinegar

Guest nini

hmm, I've only used the Tinkyada pasta for cold salads... so am I doing something wrong? Undercooking it? Overcooking it? Not adding enough liquid? Adding too much liquid?

I cook it exactly as the package dictates - 10-12 minutes. It does however say that you can overcook it because it is so "strong?" Are you adding some sort of liquid or fat to it prior to refrigerating? I have never stored it as - is, it's always been dressed.

I also think it gets really hard. I think it may be because i like my pasta AlDente and I always undercook it. I think i will try to cook it for the full 10 to 12 minutes and see if it stays soft in the fridge.

Mango04 Enthusiast

I cook mine for a little longer than it says to. You can really cook Tinkyada for a long time before it gets soggy.

Guest nini

I also like my pasta al dente, so I'll have to try cooking it longer and see if that works...

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use...

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread.  It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread.  Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet:  https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html  Used it as a starting point, but I swapped out the tapioca with arrowroot and the xanthan gum with guar gum and glucomannan.  I also made it using the gluten-free pizza mode on my Panasonic bread machine and then took the batter out and put it in...

      The concept of "over-methylation" as a common clinical condition is not supported by mainstream medicine. While methylation is a crucial biochemical process, the idea that people frequently become "over-methylated" and that this is linked to B6 deficiency is a speculative theory, not an established fact.

      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...
