Gluten free chickpea linguine pasta
What it is
This is a type of pasta made from chickpea flour, offering an alternative to traditional wheat-based pasta. The pasta is shaped like linguine, which is a long, flat strand, slightly narrower than fettuccine. It comes in a dry form, ready to be cooked.
How people cook with it
This pasta can be used in many of the same ways as regular pasta. It is a versatile base for a variety of dishes.
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with marinara sauce
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Paired with creamy sauces
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the chickpea linguine and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically for a shorter time than wheat pasta. It is important to test for doneness as it can become mushy if overcooked. Drain the pasta well and immediately toss with your chosen sauce or ingredients to prevent it from clumping together.
How it differs from similar foods
It has a slightly different texture and a subtle, earthy flavor from the chickpeas. It may also cook a bit faster and can be more delicate when overcooked.
How to keep the rest
Store the uncooked chickpea linguine in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Keep it in its original packaging or an airtight container to protect it from moisture and pests. Once cooked, any leftovers should be refrigerated promptly.
