Trader Joe's Pasta

If you happen to have a Trader Joe's by you, you have to try their gluten free pasta (if you haven't already). We have always been big fans of Tinkyada but this blows it away. You can actually cook it for the maximum time it tells you to and it does not get mushy or have that odd smell. My husband and I are not Celiac (my son is) so we can still eat regular pasta when we go out and you would never know the difference. It is cheaper too. $1.99 a pound while the other brands are almost at $4.00 here in Jersey.

This is my favorite pasta, and the only one I'd been eating for this whole time until I just recently tried Tinkyada. I thought the Tinkyada was okay.....but I really love the Trader Joe's pasta. I think I do cook it a little longer than it says, not sure, and I add planty of olive oil when cooking. Yum! :)

I have tried many different pasta's and have not like any of them until I tried Orgrans Rice and Corn pasta. THis is the best, it has a great consistancy and tastes like regular pasta, the rest of my family is not gluten free but they can not taste the difference in the Orgran's pasta. Try it it's great!

What is the Trader Joes made of?

it's brown rice. Yummy. Remember to add a lot of olive oil when cooking and stir a lot as it tends to stick together. Oh - I add water when re-heating in microwave, too.

Hi Susan :D

Thanks! I have a Trader Joes in the area, but because of my other intolerances, I can only do rice pasta (and only once in a while). This is good to know--I will pick up a bag to try the next time I'm there. :)

I have not seen a gluten-free mac and cheese there ever....something we'll have to make ourselves, I think. :(

Try going to a restaurant, explain your gluten thing, then ask for macaroni and cheese without the macaroni. You get some great looks.

Also works with grilled cheese sandwiches.

Whole Foods has it, as well as my local health food store. Also, I'm not sure where you are, but my local Acme, Shop Rite and Wegman's grocery stores all carry it.

These posts are fairly old, but I thought I would add to it anyway. I have tried many gluten free pastas, many that I threw out because the texture was awful. My two favorites are by far the Trader Joes Brown Rice Gluten free pasta and BioNature gluten free pasta. (They also make regular pasta so be sure to get the gluten free variety.) It is unbelieveably similar to regular pasta (made in Italy.) I made home made mac n cheese (from scratch with milk, butter, shredded cheese, and gluten free flour to thicken the sauce) with BioNature and it was fantastic.

trader joes just started carrying a gluten free mac and cheese!! Haven't tried it yet but this is wonderful, they keep adding more and more gluten free products

Thanks for posting this!. Is the TJ's mac and cheese a dry mix or a frozen entree? Is it resonable priced? Let us know how it is. TJ's is about 2 hrs away from us so I ask DH to pick up stuff when he is in that area for business. Kiddo will be so excited! The other mac and cheeses are more expensive so I don't buy them often.

it was a dry box mix mac and cheese and it was $1.99, I forget how much I usually pay for the Annie's boxes

What does the TJ's pasta package look like? I have never seen it before. I don't go to TJs often since I'm fortunate to have several stores much closer that carry gluten-free items.

The kids and I like Tinkyada and Mrs. Leeper's, but DH prefers the Bionaturae gluten-free one. My kids also go nuts for the Annie's Mac n Cheese.

Trader Joe's opened fairly recently near us and I love it. We eat their brown rice pasta (penne and fusilli) often. The mac n cheese is a dry box like Annie's, in fact the cheese packet inside said Annie's on it in small letters. I wonder if the noodles are also Annie's just labeled Trader Joe's. I made it as directed but added butter and a little Velveeta (we calorie boost for DD) and it was good...I think it needed a little more sauce. We will buy it again.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
