Scores (1-5, 5 being the best)

Taste: (5)

•••••

This pasta is surprisingly tasty considering the ingredients. The taste is much like that of the wheat pasta’s.

Texture/Appearance: (4)

••••

Unlike many other rice pasta’s it holds it’s shape well during the cooking process and actually will cook to "al dente". The color is not as yellow as traditional wheat pasta but it is very close when cooked.

Storage: (5)

•••••

Of course this pasta keeps very well in a pantry uncooked and it also keeps for several days after cooking, covered in the refrigerator. Just re-heat in the microwave for great leftovers.

Availability: (5)

•••••

Best of all, this pasta is not only readily available in many grocery stores and especially in specialty food stores, but they have a wide variety of shapes. We have easily found Tinkyada lasagna, penne, spiral, fettucine, linguini, and spaghetti among others.

Overall Score: (4.75)

•••• 3/4

We rank Tinkyada among one of our favorite gluten-free pastas. One of the best things about it is that you can easily serve this to non-gluten intolerant people and undoubtedly they will not know the difference!
