Pasta?

[hannahsue01]

We are planning on going gluten free in about a week and would find it helpfull not to waste money on pasta that isn't any good. We usually eat speghetti, alfredo, and bowtie pasta's. What brands have you found to be close to "normal" pasta if any?

Tinkyada tastes the most like "normal" pasta, but you MUST rinse it after cooking. It takes a bit longer than regular pasta to cook, but it's worth it!

Definately try Tinkyada. It's very good--I can even find it at my local Acme!

It's an occasional treat now, due to intolerance, but the spaghetti tastes just like 'regular'.

Tinkyada!! Its the best....dont even bother with the rest. It tastes like normal pasta.

Thanks guys! I guess I know what to look for now. I just hope one of our local gracery stores carries it!

I add my vote to Tinkyada. I didn't discover it until months into my gluten free diet....man, I wish I knew about it earlier! I tried them ALL (all other kinds)...and threw them all out. Love this one. They sell spaghetti, fettucine, elbows, penne, spirals, shells, large shells (for stuffing), lasagna, (etc., etc.). However, sometimes stores only carry 'some'-my local grocery store carries the penne and elbows. I order the rest or buy them at a place a little further away that carries them all.

I know we're in the minority but we don't like Tinkayada at all - our favorite is the Orgran rice and corn pasta.

All this time and I have ONLY used the Trader Joe's Brown Rice pastas, and I like them.....just bought Tinkyada - wonder how it compares? Will find out soon.....

[tarnalberry]

I've used Tinkyada, Trader Joe's, Ancient Harvest, and Mrs. Leepers Corn. The corn pasta sucks, the other three are all good. I prefer Tinkyada for the 'closest to regular', but Ancient Harvest (quinoa/corn blend) is also good for something different. I don't even bother rinsing the Tinkyada.

I like Tinkyada too - it's the only one I've tried so far. I don't think it's quite as flavorful as "regular" pasta (I would eat regular pasta with butter & salt) , but the texture of it is very, very close.

Tinkyada is hands down the favorite in our household. There are other gluten free pastas that we can stomach, but Tinkyada is virtually "normal".

I just went gluten free within the past week and have used pasta twice. Tinkyada is delicious. I used it for spaghetti and then the spirals to make homemade chicken noodle soup. my boyfriend said the noodles in the soup were better than regular noodles are!!

[ehrin]

I also like the Tinkyada pastas - as does my boyfriend and roomate!

I also use the Trader Joe's brown rice pastas, but I like the texture of the Tinkyada better.

I love BI-Aglut pasta. Delicious!!! Tastes like real pasta!! Most of the pasta takes only 8 minutes even though the package says 5 min. Much better than Tinkyada in my opinion. Takes a LOT less time to cook. Less slimy too. I'm a very picky eater. Loved my pasta before celiac disease!! Took me a loooong time to find out this was THE BEST pasta.

i second the bi-aglut!!!!! it's the only pasta i can eat and enjoy completely plain (like i used to do all the time with normal pasta) it's kind of expensive though

Tinkyada is good for shaped pasta. I buy the rice vermicelli (cheapo stuff in the Asian foods section) for spaghetti substitute though, and it's very good once you get the sauce on it.

I heart Tinkyada, as I have mentioned many different times before -- I have a pantry virtually stocked with every brand they make (yum)... but I also wanted to say that I like the BioNaturé pasta -- it's made from potato, soy and rice... It's my sisters favorite over Tinkyada too...

Good luck!

[skinnyminny]

I know Bio Nature as well.. I highly reccomend it we serve it to non celiacs and they never even now the difference! I get it at wild oats make sure it says gluten free they also make wheat pasta

[frenchiemama]

Tinkyada. I recently discovered that they make a spinach linguine, that's my new favorite.

[chrissy]

i just discovered that you can buy tinkyada pasta in bulk from azure standard. i havaen't seen it online---but i got their free catalogue and found it in there.

I love that pasta plain with just butter on it!!! You have to check around for prices though. You can find more decent prices different places.
