As someone who has always loved pasta, living gluten free for the past year has been extremely frustrating. I've tried countless types of pasta, including corn pasta, rice pasta and an interesting corn/navy bean blend pasta and the Tikyada Brown Rice pastas (NOTE: I particularly like the ones with rice bran - it's noted on the label) have been the best that I've had. I actually served it to someone the other day who doesn't live GF and he didn't notice a difference between that and regular pasta. I do, however, find that I don't need to cook it as long as it says on the package. I shorten the cooking time by about 2-4 minutes usually and just keep checking to see when it is done. They go very well with GF vodka sauce. Enjoy!

I served this for the first time a few days ago in a casserole. My family didn't even know it was gluten free. We've been using Barilla Plus pasta for a while due to its higher protein count, but I can no longer have gluten. I was bummed out about cooking pasta for the family without getting to enjoy it so I decided to give this a shot.

wonderful!

I agree with the above poster that it needs less cook time than stated on the package.

There is no other rice noodle brand that holds up to cooking without mushing and can replace wheat noodles without complaint. Spirals however have a problem in that their centers need more cooking than the rest so to get them cooked well they do become overcooked. Try fusili instead-they are AWESOME!

This pasta is truly amazing - if you didn't know it wasn't regular wheat pasta, you would never know! I also love the low-energy cooking method. I boil for one minute and then turn off the heat, remove it from the burner, and let it sit covered for 18 minutes (or 16 minutes if it's going into a casserole) - it comes out perfect!!

I LOVE Tinkyada's products. I am sensitive to wheat/gluten, but not allergic. If you follow the cooking directions, it will come out fine. You can let it sit in it's sauce indefinitely, and it it won't overcook, like regular pasta. It's great for date night, when you might be busy...having a glass of wine...while you wait for dinner.

The other night, I tried cooking it the alternate way (it's on the package) because I am temporarily using a kitchen with only one small gas burner, and several electric appliances. I really wanted pasta, so I boiled the water, added the spirals, let boil for a couple of minutes (stirred a few times) then took it off the heat and let it sit COVERED for about 20 mins while I sauteed veggies and made a sauce. It worked! YAY! energy-efficient food! I love it!

When the sauce was ready, we drained the pasta...yup...cooked thru...and dumped it in the saucepan. We let it sit while we did some other things, and it's texture was still great!

I love this gluten free pasta and was thrilled to find that I could buy it in bulk through Amazon. I use it all the time and being able to buy it in a 12 pack and at a discounted price saved me a lot of money over buying it in the grocery store. I will definitely buy it this way again. One thing to know about the cooking time for the pasta, don't use the directions on the package. The pasta will be very over-cooked. I found that boiling it for about 6 minutes gives it a very nice taste and texture.

I like this rice pasta better than wheat. It has a nice chewy quality, it feels substantial against any sauce. I don't care for rice, so it was a pleasant surprise to find that Tinkyada Brown Rice Spirals go really well with Indian and Chinese cuisines. And it's made with Brown Rice, could it be better? It's surprised me totally how good this rice pasta tastes! And for the gluten sensitive it's really wonderful.

These are my favorite noodles ever, gluten free or not. The flavor, texture and nutritional value are so good you'll never eat regular pasta again : )

Having to stay away from wheat, corn, many oils and additives, I thought that my days of enjoying pasta were long gone. This is the first gluten free pasta I've found that does not get weirdly hard when cold or too gummy/chewy when boiled. I actually feel like I am eating "real" pasta.

Kudos to Tinkyada. I am a forever fan.

I love this pasta. It tastes sooo good and is really easy to prepare. I've tried about every gluten free pasta out there and this is the only one I like. Also, you cannot beat the price by buying it on Amazon.
