Problem With Tinkyada Pasta

I used to love pasta salad but when I first became gluten free I made pasta salad using Tinkyada pasta and found that after 2 days in the refrigerator that pasta was extremely hard as if I had barely cooked it. I tried added more dressing to it but that didn't work so well. I hadn't made pasta salad in 2 years but for the fourth of July I thought I'd try it again. I started with more salad dressing that I did previously so it had more moisture to soak up but again after 2 days in the refrigerator I found it very unappetizing. I really like Tinkyada pasta and if I cook extra and store it in the refrigerator it reheats well, but without reheating and eating it cold it's just hard/ Does anyone have any suggestions to keeping the pasta softer while in the refrigerator?

This is just the nature of our gluten-free pastas I think. I don't make pasta salad but I am told that it is best made and eaten the same day. Maybe others will share their experiences as well. I do occasionally use leftover pasta the next day in hot pasta dishes or soup. Just immerse the pasta in boiling water for a few seconds and drain and top with sauce or toss with the sauce in a pan or place in a bowl and pour the hot soup on top.

What would happen if you added oil to the water while cooking the pasta? I'm thinking the oil would get soaked up and maybe, just maybe keep the pasta softer. Just a thought, but I suspect it would still be best eaten the same day. If you want to keep it longer, perhaps freezing it would help. That works for gluten-free breads anyway.

No!!!! Do Not put oil in with your rice pasta! I tried it. Bad idea. It turns your pasta to glue, it's terrible. I have found that if I slather pasta salad with mayo and a crapload of dressing, it'll keep for 36 hours. Can't really hope for much more.

I've made macaroni salad about 3 times this summer already with Tinkyada elbows, veggies and mayo and have had no problem with it. It kept for about 4-5 days in the fridge and didn't seem to get hard. I cooked the pasta like it said on the front of the package - boiled for 2 minutes, covered and let sit for 18-20 minutes. Maybe it was the mayo that kept it moist.

I know it is kind of a pain but I keep the ingredients seperate....I make up the "dressing...mayo, or italian dressing, veggies, spices and keep them seperate from the pasta....I add the pasta when I am ready to eat it...the Tinkyada stores well

I suggest someone to email them and ask what Tinkyada says to do.

After watching a report years ago about all of the nasty bacteria and fungus that grows on leftovers in the fridge (and the amount of nasties is just staggering), I simply will not eat anything past the 24-36 hour mark. My husband laughs about it. But I wont touch it if it has been in there longer than a day or so.

There are old posts stating the same things here. One said to pack on the mayo too.

I'm with you! I get laughed at too. I also will not eat anything that has been sitting out for more than 2 hours. It's just not worth getting sick.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
