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?

Morning Patti..... :)

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.

We buy Rice Vermicelle and Macaroni at an Asian market. Very inexpensive!

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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
