Gluten-Free Pasta Types
Since gluten-free pasta can’t have wheat flour (the main ingredient in regular pasta), there are many creative ingredients used for making allergy-friendly noodles. Bonus: many of them are packed with more nutrients such as protein and fiber. Keep an eye out for these gluten-free pastas and the brands sold at stores.
How to Cook Gluten-Free Pasta
Keep the cooking time on your box’s instructions in mind as not every type of gluten-free pasta is going to cook in the same amount of time. Then follow these steps to make sure your pasta turns out to be the full, non-mushy noodles they were intended to be. Test Kitchen Tip: Gluten-free pasta varieties typically don’t hold well after cooking, so they aren’t the best choice for make-ahead pasta salads.
