Just toss any leftovers in a little olive oil. Trader Joe's sells corn pasta super cheap! Just know that the cooking water turns really yellow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794602 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 14:31:52 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1794602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE corn and quinoa noodles.

I prefer rice, quinoa, or just blends of a few different things. Most of them I've found to be quite good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794430 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:30:41 +0000 Mamaof2 1794430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: oh I just bought a spiralizer but there is no way I could convince myself it was pasta! haha</p> <p>I do eat bowls of zucchini noodles (with just some salt) and got DD to eat sweet potato noodles</p> <p>eta: pics =) </p> [attach=4342/14/n9n4tk.600x448.IMG_3078-1-.JPG] [attach=4342/14/n9n4tn.600x448.IMG_3082-1-.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794427 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:29:49 +0000 Pirouette 1794427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH (non Celiac) LOVES corn pasta - he says it tastes most like the real stuff. since he eats the real stuff too, i think he's a good judge :) but our favorite is the quinoa/corn blend - we eat that stuff almost exclusively now. though the corn only brand is our back up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794420 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:27:35 +0000 IRunForFun 1794420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Do you have a spiralizer for the zucchini noodles?

Corn past is great, especially in summery dishes (try fava beans, goat cheese, and zucchini tossed in a butter-parmesan sauce), but it really needs to be al dente or it quickly verges into something more like clumpy polenta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794391 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:17:14 +0000 Mamaof2 1794391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: thanks for the feedback - will check it out as well!</p> <p>@IRunForFun: its on amazon </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Barilla-Gluten-Spaghetti-Pasta-Ounce/dp/B00DRA8IFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1406916911&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=Barilla+gluten+free" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Barilla-Gluten-Spaghetti-Pasta-Ounce/dp/B00DRA8IFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1406916911&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=Barilla+gluten+free</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794354 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:00:58 +0000 IRunForFun 1794354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: I loved the corn/rice pasta mix, but I have only ever been able to find it ONCE, at one grocery store me, and never since then! Sad. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794349 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:57:00 +0000 Rocker2014 1794349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I have celiac, but before going gluten free pasta was my all time favorite food, so I've tried ALL the different kinds of pasta out there. Corn pasta is good, but be careful about overcooking it, it gets super mushy really fast. I've also found that also doesn't keep well, it gets pretty hard and is difficult to soften up again when reheated. I think the texture is pretty close to "normal" pasta, and I like the taste. I like the texture of pasta with quinoa, but the taste is really different to me - the quinoa taste is very strong. Rice pasta varies, but the texture and taste can be really different than what you're used to. If you're avoiding gluten, my absolute FAVORITE gf pasta is the Barilla gluten free. It is a corn/rice mix that tastes, looks and cooks nearly exactly like wheat based pastas, it reheats really well and even holds up in soups. By far the best I've found.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794345 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:54:36 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1794345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've tried this for the same reason and really did not like it. TJ's brown rice pasta is the current favorite in our house. Just a head's up that you want to watch the pasta carefully because it goes from cooked to mushy in no time (both the corn and the rice). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794335 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:49:15 +0000 Mamaof2 1794335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: thanks! I am trying to reduce gluten and saw this today so I grabbed it - curious to see how it tastes for myself!</p> <p>@IRunForFun: good to know about rice pasta -thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794302 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:34:23 +0000 IRunForFun 1794302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Not sure if you have corn pasta already, which is why you're asking about it, or if you are looking for a decent GF pasta, BUT I'd avoid rice pasta, and I think quinoa pasta is the most similar in taste and texture to wheat pasta! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794300 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:33:49 +0000 .twist. 1794300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooooo my ex was a totally weird, diet trending freak. We tried every type of dietary trend/exclusion you could possibly think of. </p> <p>One of them? Corn products. Seriously. I have never eaten so much corn in my life. It's hilariously embarrassing.</p> <p>SO, I have tried lots of different types of pasta and (next to wheat) corn is my FAVOURITE. I actually really love it. Haven't eaten it in a while but I remember it being very tasty. </p> <p>If anything, I would give it a go, worst case no one likes it and you go back to buying whatever you were buying before. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794297 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:31:43 +0000 Mamaof2 1794297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: oh good to know - thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794292 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:30:32 +0000 IRunForFun 1794292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Probably not if it has sauce or butter or cheese on it. My DH ate it and thought it was great and he's picky about GF stuff and will tell me if he thinks it tastes like crap. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pasta-made-from-corn-gluten-free#post-1794288 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:29:00 +0000 Mamaof2 1794288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: will it taste funny to my kids? </p>
