 Better than the "normal" pasta I used to eat! August 22, 2008
HeatherHH
If you can't eat wheat pasta, Tinkyada is the brand to buy. The white rice pasta I bought at the store was mushy and didn't hold its shape. It was a pale imitation of the "real thing" (i.e. wheat pasta) But Tinkyada's pasta I can enjoy eating. As long as you cook according to the directions, you can't tell it's not "normal" pasta. I usually add a bit of oil to the water with the pasta to discourage sticking, because I don't do a very good job remembering to stir it! It's also brown rice-based, so it's healthier for you. One warning, if you put plain pasta in the fridge, it will be hardened when you pull it out. But, heat it with some sauce, or reheat it in a pan of water on the stove, and it's nice and soft again. If you store it with sauce, then this problem is avoided.
I've tried four shapes of Tinkyada pasta, and this is definitely my favorite. The fusilli is like a hollow spaghetti, with a slight twist to it. With the interesting shape of spiral/rotini pasta, but without the bulkiness. It seems very fancy, but doesn't really cost a whole lot more. This is the shape we use most often. We use it with marinara sauce, meat sauce, chicken parmesan, chicken noodle soup, etc. Very versatile. Highly recommended to anyone who can't eat wheat/gluten.

Tinkyada makes excellent pasta, regardless of whether you must eat gluten-free or not. It is NOT mushy or gritty as one other reviewer noted; when properly cooked it is perfectly "al dente." You won't be disappointed.

I find the texture of this, and most other brown rice pastas, to be really off-putting. There are much better alternative-grain pastas available, like quinoa.

My wife is a celiac and I'm very picky about my pasta. What to do? We tried every dried rice pasta we could find, and Tinkyada has been hands-down the best. The texture is excellent and it is much easier to cook to a proper al dente than any other brand. It has good flavor. I personally find the Fusilli form the most appealing. Indeed, I actually prefer this pasta to just about any dried wheat-based pasta. Heartily recommended without reservation.

For anyone who is gluten intolerant and misses pasta, this is heaven sent. I also appreciate that it is brown rice which I consider to be superior to white in both flavor and nutrition. Truly a quality pasta I highly reccomend. Thank you Tinkyada
