Pasta - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 19

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.
