Wheat-Free Pasta
Varieties
As is the case with other types of pasta, wheat-free pasta comes in several shapes and sizes, including macaroni, spaghetti, farfalle (bow-ties), rotelle (corkscrews), conchiglie (shells), linguini (broad, flat noodles), and others.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Add pasta a little at a time to boiling water. To prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cooking time varies, depending on the pasta’s shape and size. After cooking, drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. As a general rule, use light sauces for delicate pastas, such as capellini or angel hair, and chunky, richer sauces for sturdy pastas like fuselli and linguini.
Storing
Store pasta, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight months.
