Tips & Tricks

  • Choosing the Right Gluten Free Pasta: Long pasta: Gluten Free Spaghetti, Thin Spaghetti and Fettuccine suit bolognese, napolitana and creamy sauces. Short pasta: Gluten Free Penne, Spirals and Bowties hold chunky sauces well and shine in salads and bakes. Baking: Gluten Free Lasagne Sheets layer straight into your favourite lasagne recipe. Quick dinners: Gluten Free Gnocchi is ready in just 2 minutes. Extra protein: Pulse Pasta spirals, spaghetti and penne are made from lentils and chickpeas.
  • Cooking Gluten Free Pasta: Use plenty of water: Add pasta and a tablespoon of salt to a large pot of boiling water so the pasta can move freely. Stir early: Gluten free pasta benefits from a good stir in the first minute to stop pieces sticking together. Check early: Cooking times range from about 6 to 10 minutes depending on the shape. So, taste 1–2 minutes before the suggested cooking time for your desired bite. Combine immediately: Drain and toss through your sauce right away so the pasta absorbs every bit of flavour and maintains its texture.
  • Common Mistakes to Avoid: Overcooking: Gluten free pasta moves from al dente to soft quickly, so watch the clock. Skipping the stir: Without a stir early on, the pieces can clump. Rinsing hot pasta: Save rinsing for pasta salads only. For hot dishes, the starch helps the sauce cling. Crowding the pot: Too little water leads to sticky, unevenly cooked pasta.
