Large Pasta Shells

Does anyone know if there is a gluten-free company that makes the large pasta shells like you would use in manicotti? I've had several types of Tinkyada and Deboles but have never been able to find these. TIA!

Tinkyada does make a large shell that is used for manicotti. I can usually find it at Whole Foods or Wild Oats.

Tinkyada does make a large shell pasta, Brown Rice Grand Shells. Open Original Shared Link

But from what I see on their website, you have to buy 12 pkgs. at a time if you buy from them. It does have a long shelf life, but that's more than I can picture using in the next 5 years.

If I see single packages anywhere, I'll snap one up and PM you.

I use Tinkadya large shells for my stuffed shells and they work very well! I have bought them online at first, and then when Wegmans started carrying them, I just get them there.

Thanks, guys. Unfortunately, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Wild Oats are all about 100 miles from me and the two health food stores I frequent don't have them yet. And, alas, no Wegman's anywhere! May try your suggestions of ordering online (don't think I'd use 12 bags though! :( ) TYVM all!

Here you can order it one box at a time for $3.29 a box. They also have lots of other yummy treats.

Thanks! For some reason, I just now found this reply. Link didn't work, but I'll try to figure it out. :)

I had bought some of the Tinkyada big shells over the internet, but I found that many of them were broken in each box. I cooked them up anyway, filled the ones that were whole, then made lumps of filling in the dish and covered them with the pieces of broken shell. It worked great, but it made me wonder why I went to the bother of stuffing shells when I could just cover the filling with any kind of pasta and get the same general result! Kind of like, why make all the layers of lasagna, when the same ingredients mixed together (subbing ziti for flat noodles) makes baked ziti, which tastes the same.

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.

      Thank you! This is very helpful. Quick followup: what is your recommendation re: gluten-free prepared foods (labeled gluten-free or certified gluten-free) during this time of being more strict about eating gluten-free? Is it necessary to eat only whole foods prepared at home, or is it safe to include prepared / packaged foods in her diet (I'm thinking particularly of snack foods)?
