Garofalo Gluten Free Pasta
What it is
This is a package of penne rigate pasta made from a blend of corn and rice flours. It is designed to be a substitute for traditional wheat-based pasta. The pasta is shaped into short tubes with ridges on the outside. These ridges help to hold sauces. The pasta is dried and ready for cooking.
How people cook with it
This pasta can be used in many of the same ways as regular pasta. It is suitable for hot dishes and cold pasta salads.
- With tomato sauce
- In baked dishes
- With pesto
- In pasta salads
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. It is now ready to be combined with your favorite sauce or ingredients for a meal.
How it differs from similar foods
The blend of corn and rice flours creates a pasta that holds its shape well. The ridges are a common feature on many pasta shapes, designed to enhance sauce adhesion.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer any unused pasta to an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
