Spaghetti, noodles, macaroni, ravioli, and lasagna have been staples for decades. It's these comfort foods people miss the most when living gluten free. Strangers give those who can't have noodles a hard time for not eating normal. For years, cooks had to guess what gluten free flour mixture could make a good home made noodle. Now, there is a good variety of corn and rice noodles on the market. Some brands appeared, were great, and disappeared for some unknown reason. Rice and corn noodles do take a little extra care when cooking. Taste and texture are best when slow boiled.
