Guide Review - Product Review of Tinkyáda® Gluten Free Rice Pastas
The outstanding texture and neutral taste of Tinkyáda® Pasta Joy gluten-free rice pasta products make them an outstanding gluten-free substitute for wheat pastas. Follow package cooking instructions and you will not end up with mushy pasta. Cooks to al dente (tender but firm) in about 15 minutes. These products hold up to heavy sauces and their neutral flavor does not affect the taste of dishes like some corn or quinoa products.

Delicious gluten free lasagna, macaroni and cheese, Italian and Asian pasta dishes, stuffed Grand shells, Penne with bolognese sauce and more, are possible using Tinkyáda® Pasta products.
