Our favorite is Le Veneziane. This is an imported Italian pasta made from corn. It is the most authentic gluten-free pasta we’ve tried. Unfortunately it is not available at grocery stores but can be purchased on-line at www.quattrobimbi.com. This pasta is available in several different styles including fettucini nests.
Tinkyada (www.tinkyada.com - available at well-stocked natural food stores) makes great tasting pasta made from brown rice and water. It holds up very nicely as it cooks and it doesn’t taste "gritty" or "slimy", but does discolor the cooking water with a lot of starch. Our other favorite gluten-free pasta is Bi-Aglut. Bi-Aglut (available through Glutino - www.glutino.com) also tastes very close to wheat-based pasta’s.

Asian Style Pasta Stir Fry

When putting together a great tasting, one-dish pasta meal take advantage of leftovers in your refrigerator. Often you can find leftover steak, chicken, pork or even fish that will make a wonderful addition to a quick and easy pasta dish. Other great ingredients to look for are cheeses, fresh produce, roasted peppers, nuts, garlic, cream, butter , fresh herbs, tomato sauce, pesto and even salsa.
