It’s important to note that Barilla makes a really good no-boil gluten free

lasagna noodle that really don’t have to boil. I use it often in my classic

gluten free lasagna ,

and the noodles cook perfectly and hold up to slicing cleanly.

For real-life weekdays, here’s my list of 8 of the best dried gluten free pasta

brands to try, including Bionaturae.

I actually really like the texture of Bionaturae gluten free pasta

. I hadn’t purchased it in a really long time, since it

contains soy flour and my oldest currently have soy. It’s a light brown pasta,

and kind of earthy tasting.

I know that the shape of pasta doesn’t affect its taste, but I really love the

tight coil of Bionaturae’s fusilli pasta. It holds onto sauce really well and

just has a nice mouthfeel. No one will ever mistake it for a conventional pasta

because of that earthy taste (although maybe it’s a bit like whole wheat

pasta?), but it’s quite good in taste and texture.

Here are the other details:

* Size of bag: 12 ounces

* Price you should expect to pay: over $5 per bag.

* Other top allergens: SOY

* Ingredients: organic rice flour, organic potato starch, organic rice starch,

* Package cooking instructions: Cook pasta in 3 quarts of salted boiling water,

stirring frequently, 10 minutes. Drain, do not rinse, and serve.

For real-life weekdays, here’s my list of 8 of the best dried gluten free pasta

brands to try, including Delallo.

I love Delallo gluten free because they have gluten free orzo, and I buy it by

the case. I hadn’t tried Delallo gluten free fusilli

previously but had high expectations since I think

their quality is generally quite good.

I wasn’t disappointed. Their gluten free fusilli had really great texture and

taste. Again, it’s not a dead ringer for conventional wheat pasta, which isn’t a

total surprise since it’s made of mostly corn. But it holds its shape, doesn’t

fall apart during cooking and has a really nice taste and texture.

Here are the other details:

* Size of bag: 12 ounces

* Price you should expect to pay: about $4.50 per bag.

* Ingredients: 70% corn flour; 30% rice flour

* Package cooking instructions: bring water to boil, add salt (no oil), cover

with lid to bring back to boil, remove lid and cook for 6 minutes, until al

dente. Drain but don’t rinse.

I had never heard of Garofalo brand gluten free pasta, but I’m absolutely

thrilled that you told me about it. This Garofalo gluten free penne

was hands down the most like conventional pasta.

This pasta was the hands-down favorite of my oldest daughter. She’s one who most

often eats gluten-containing pasta outside the house (my son is the only one

among them who has to be gluten free), and she said, “This one tastes more like

My teenage gluten free son, who hasn’t had gluten-containing pasta since he was

about 1 year old, and my youngest daughter said that this pasta was “too dry.” I

think that gluten free pasta, in general, tends to be softer and more tender,

even when cooked as al dente as possible. So it really comes down to personal

Here are the other details:

* Size of bag: 16 ounces

* Price you should expect to pay: about $7.50 a bag. Approximately the same

price per ounce as Delallo.

* Ingredients: corn flour, rice flour, corn starch, quinoa, mono- and

* Cooked according to package directions: Boil water, add pinch of salt and

pasta. 4 quarts water for 1 pound pasta. Cook 8 minutes.

For real-life weekdays, here’s my list of 8 of the best dried gluten free pasta

brands to try, including Jovial.

I have something of a complicated history with Jovial brand products. I find

them to be overpriced, in general. This Jovial gluten free brown rice pasta

was quite good, made from whole grain and actually the

favorite (other than Barilla) of my son and youngest child.

They’re the ones who like soft pasta, though (see the Garofalo review just

above). They’re also not paying for any of the food they eat, so they’re

unaffected better price, though, and you like soft pasta, buy it!

Here are the other details:

* Size of box: 12 ounces

* Price you should expect to pay: about $7.50 for just 12 ounces. More

expensive than Garofalo.

* Other top allergens: possible SOY contamination (label indicates that they

process soy in the facility)

* Ingredients: organic brown rice flour, water.

* Cooked according to package directions: Bring 3 quarts of water to a rolling

boil. Add salt as desired. Cook pasta on high heat, stirring frequently.

Cooking time 10 minutes. Test for doneness. Drain and add your favorite

For real-life weekdays, here’s my list of 8 of the best dried gluten free pasta

brands to try, including Le Veneziane.

I really like corn pastas, and I used to buy Sam Mills brand at Trader Joe’s

years ago (they no longer seem to sell it). But back then, my youngest made such

a stink over corn pasta that I just didn’t bother.

Now, tasting Le Veneziane gluten free corn pasta , my

youngest seems to really like corn pasta. ??️ It’s expensive, more so than Sam

Mills, but on part with Delallo and Garofalo brands. It has really good texture,

and doesn’t have the tendency that Jovial has to get really soft.

The best texture is when it’s cooked for 9 full minutes, or it can tend to be a

bit hard when it’s no longer piping hot. I have a tendency to rinse gluten free

pasta since I’ve historically found that that helps to achieve the best texture,

but Le Veneziane shouldn’t be rinsed.

Here are the other details:

* Size of bag: 8.8 ounces

* Price you should expect to pay: about $4.50 per package of less than 9

ounces. For sake of comparison, a 12 ounce package would cost nearly $6. On

par with Delallo and Garofalo.

* Ingredients: corn flour, emulsifier: mono and diglycerides of fatty acids of

* Cooking instructions:1 liter water, 10 g salt. Add salt to boiling water. Add

the pasta to the water and stir. Cook 8-9 minutes. Drain the pasta.

For real-life weekdays, here’s my list of 8 of the best dried gluten free pasta

brands to try, including Schar.

I really love Schar products in general, and their pasta is no exception. They

used to sell this great anelli pasta that was great for making my homemade

version of spaghettios, but I think they stopped making it. Instead, I

discovered that Le Veneziane sells a corn-based ditalini pasta that works in

Schar gluten free penne pasta is just really good all

around. The taste and texture are really authentic, and will satisfy those who

want pasta that tastes like “the gluten one” and ones who like their pasta

softer, too. It’s just a nice middle ground.

I was even surprised that the price isn’t bad, when compared to the middle-range

pastas like Garofalo and Delallo. But the “may contain soy” on the label keeps

us from buying it regularly. Why, Schar, why?

Here are the other details:

* Size of box: 12 ounces

* Price you should expect to pay: less than $4.00 per box.

* Other top allergens: Label indicates that it may contain SOY.

* Ingredients: corn flour, rice flour, vegetable palm oil.

* Cooked according to package directions: Bring water to a boil, add salt

(directions say to add olive oil but I did not), add pasta to boiling water,

cook 14-16 minutes. Drain and serve.

For real-life weekdays, here’s my list of 8 of the best dried gluten free pasta

brands to try, including Trader Joe’s black bean pasta.

Okay, so Trader Joe’s black bean rotini pasta is something to try. It’s not

something that you give to a picky eater. And it’s not something you should

expect to use as a replacement for, well, nearly anything else—least of all a

gluten-containing pasta.

But I actually like it. I’m not sure if it’s just because I had just tried the

Banza brand chickpea pasta or the Trader Joe’s red lentil penne pasta, but I’m

more than willing to eat it. It has way better nutrition than any of the other

dried gluten free pasta brands on this list, of course, and a texture that

pretty much anyone could love.

The taste is definitely not for everyone though! It’s also really beautiful to

look at, especially when it’s dried. When you’re trying to photograph 8 or 10

different types of essentially the same thing and make them all look relatively

attractive, you learn to appreciate things like that.

Just please rinse it well after cooking.

Here are the other details:

* Size of bag: 12 ounces

* Price you should expect to pay: less than $3 a bag

* Ingredients: organic black bean flour

* Cooking instructions: In a large pot bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling

boil. Add salt if desired; add pasta and stir gently. Return to a medium boil

and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Do not overcook. Remove from

heat, drain and rinse foam. Serve right away with your favorite sauce.
