I would love to know what others do. I use tykanda (sp?) and while it is great the night I cook it, it falls apart when I reheat it in the microwave.

yeah, my pasta get all dry and hard when I try to reheat it. It would be so much better if the pasta didn't have to be cooked every night you wanted it, and if you made extra you could be able to save it since pasta is so expensieve.

Mine still gets a mushier texture. But it does not get hard. Here is what I do.

I put the sauce over the pasta and into a gladware container. When re-heating. I leave the lid on the container. This keeps the steam and moisture in the container. Helps to keep it from drying out. It works well for me. It isn't like FRESH pasta, but it's good enough for me.

Sauce it before you store it, if you can. Reheat very lightly, preferably heating up other items and using those items to heat the pasta the rest of the way. And don't reheat it uncovered. It's not perfect, but something.

I've only tried some gluten-free quinoa spaghetti that my Wild Oats had, but it reheated just fine. I had the spaghetti sauce mixed in with it, left the lid on the container but vented up in a corner, and nuked it for just over a minute. Came out fine.

Oh, and the qunioa spaghetti was very tasty. It was very much like the regular spaghetti. It was my first try for a gluten-free pasta and it was a positive.

thanks for your suggestions, but see I mostly like my pasta with just butter. Know how to reheat plain pasta??

Put a teensy bit of water in there with it. Maybe just mist it a bit or something. It needs moisture in there to reheat properly. I bought these new tupperware called cleverware that has a little vent in the top so you can microwave stuff covered. They've been great for reheating gluten free things in the microwave that don't reheat well uncovered.

even plain pasta should be fine as long as you keep it covered. if it's uncovered, it'll dry out. also, it will help if you butter it before you put it up for leftovers. in combination with keeping it covered, that should work well. (the fat 'coating' - very light though it may be - will help keep water from escaping the food.)

I always cook more gluten-free pasta than I need and then freeze what is left over in plastic bags. When I use it, I put it frozen in a colander and run hot water over it. The hot water heats the pasta and thaws it at the same time. I do the same thing if I am reheating the pasta and it has been in the refrigerator. I have done this for years with non gluten-free and now the gluten-free noodles. Sometimes I put a little oil on the pasta after running hot water over it. I do this with rice noodles, Annie's thai noodles with basil.... I have never had a problem with it becoming mushy! .....

Please post your results so we'll all learn what works best! So far I've just been using my leftover pasta cold in salads so haven't had the disappointment of mush or hard stuff... but come winter I'll need HOT food!

don't worry, I'll make sure I post the results!! I have 2 batches of pasta, one I put butter on before putting it in the refrigerator and I'll try reheating it tomorrow, and one I did nothing to it, but I may put either water in the tupperware and then heat it up and I may sepaarately try putting it in a strainer and heating up the water and spraying it on the pasta. But I'll be sure to keep you all posted and tell which result worked the best for me:)

what works the best for me is freezing the leftovers in ziplock freezer bags, when I'm ready to use it I cut the bag open and thaw it in a pot with boiling water for just a few minutes. Then drain again. Works perfect every single time.

i put a little bit of water into the bowl or container with the pasta and put it in the micro with a paper towel over it.. seems to make it a little moister, but mine sometimes falls apart too

I just heat mine up in the conventional oven with or without sauce. It always turns out....unless I forget and leave it in too long.

I use Rizopia pasta and it reheats exactly like it was fresh from the pot. If you go to their web site there are cooking instructions and recipes. I think adding a little olive oil while cooking helps and to not overcook as well.

Judy, what a great picture. Now, I know who I am talking to - he he. I love all the computer talented people on here.

What I do when I reheat pasta, is just put it in a saucepan with a lid. Ad some moisture (ie. olive oil or something like that) and slowly reheat. I never have a problem this way.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
