It's taken me a while but I've finally mailed the cook time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581397 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:57:08 +0000 lilyofthewest 581397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried a lot, and the Ancient Harvest Quinoa pasta really is the best. It is mostly corn, but I think the little bit of quinoa makes it better than the corn only GF pastas. The Scharr ones are pretty tasty too though. </p> <p>One thing I've noticed about the corn pastas is that they are really disappointing if you undercook them even a little bit. So, test, test, and test again until it is definitely the right texture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581393 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:54:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 581393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: aww I'm sorry to hear that!!! When I first had it I was amazed and now it's all we buy. I hope you find one you like!! I hated rice pasta too :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581384 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:51:51 +0000 Mrs. Bee 581384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: i've tried that brand and it's ok. still not like real pasta! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581381 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:51:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 581381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You didn't like quinoa pasta??</p> <p>This is the brand I get and both DH and I like it even MORE than real pasta!! </p> [attach=1597/13/mijxdq.600x163.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581362 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:44:32 +0000 LivsMama 581362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr Schar brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581358 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:40:15 +0000 Pirouette 581358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Corn pasta is the closest to the real thing I think...and I like quinoa pasta too...I find rice pasta too dense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581354 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:37:57 +0000 runsyellowlites 581354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our local grocer has a corn &amp; rice pasta and it's really good (not sure the brand since I just threw out the package last night after dinner)... Has the texture of regular white pasta. I do agree they aren't as good left over though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581346 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:34:09 +0000 Mrs.Someone 581346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure the brand, but Whole Foods has one made with brown rice flour that is quite good. I can't really even tell the difference. In Seattle we also have a fresh pasta brand called Maninis, not sure its made it your way yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581343 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:33:05 +0000 EBSC 581343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for corn pasta! And my favorite brand is definitely Schar, which is a blend of corn and other starches. It's as similar as any of the pastas I've tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581336 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:30:08 +0000 LittleGBee 581336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Corn pasta = the bomb. Trader Joes has a cheap and delicious one! As with most things GF, the left overs aren't quite what you're used to, but it's worth not feeling crummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581289 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:02:32 +0000 spaniellove 581289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're longtime fans of Tinkyada brown rice pasta...for leftovers it doesn't quite have the texture of regular pasta, but otherwise it's pretty satisfying. And not as pricey as Bionaturae! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581114 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:42:04 +0000 prettylizy 581114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to prefer corn pasta over rice pasta. If you want to cheat a little, Spelt pasta is super low gluten and way better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581111 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:40:45 +0000 MrsH 581111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tinkyada is the bet brown rice, a couple of the corn based ones are good too (the one I like the best is Italian). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581107 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:38:27 +0000 eatwitheli 581107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Bionaturae is excellent. You can get it at Whole Foods and even some "regular" grocery stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581106 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:37:59 +0000 formula323 581106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not gluten-free but I feed LO Tinkyada pasta and agree it's pretty good! The texture is a little more chewy but pretty close in flavor. Just make sure to add plenty of salt to the water! Also it doesn't reheat very well although I prefer to serve it to LO that way since it gets nice and soft if nuked with sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581095 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:29:59 +0000 hellobeeboston 581095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm gluten free -- Tinkyada is the best I think -- but none are as good as the real thing, it's been so long since I had good pasta! You have to make sure not to over cook it - and rinse it. </p> <p>There is also an Italian brand I like - I can look for it - it's only in one natural food store up here.... The Tinkyada is more widely available.</p> <p>And fwiw, trader joes rice pasta is bad - but their GF Mac and cheese is really good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-gluten-free-pasta#post-581086 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:26:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 581086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone found one that actually tastes good? I've tried ones made with rice flour and quinoa and they are nothing like real pasta! </p>
