Pasta

[Guest guest]

Does anyone make their own GF pasta? Does it come out well or does it

tend to fall apart? I am thinking about getting the pasta attachments

for my big Kitchen Aid mixer but I don't want to invest the money if GF

pasta is going to be a real chore to make. I'm just now getting the hang

of making GF pizza dough and all that good stuff. Also does anyone know

of a good pre-packaged pasta that isn't made with rice flour? We bought

some Quinoa pasta and everyone liked it except hubby and he is the

Celiac (arg!). He has always had a thing for white bread, sticky pasta,

and most anything that doesn't have a " whole grain " texture.

don't know about making your own, but i have found that the tinkayada brand of spaghetti and fettucini are most like non-gf pasta....

Can't answer the other questions, but am amazed at your willingness

to make your own gf pasta! Keep us posted on your journey.

Also, re the quinoa pasta. We love the quinoa pasta best. I wish

it came in all the form factors. I can only find it in elbows.

Would love lasagna noodles made of the quinoa, for instance. Or,

most especially, gnocchi.

I have made my own pasta- generally using Bette Hagman's recipe for

bean pasta, but any of hers work well. I also had a friend who

randomly made me homemade lasagna using white rice and tapioca flour

following a normal recipe. I find that homemade pasta is a fair amount

of effort, but I will do it for the occasional homemade ravioli. Mmmm!

You may find it cheaper to purchase a separate pasta roller from italy-

i got one in japan imported from Italy for about $20. I know the

kitchenaid extras can be pricey...

For a white pasta, i like ener-g foods white rice spaghetti or

macaroni.. Otherwise tinkyada or Trader Joe's Brown rice pasta is

good. However if you really want to avoid rice, there is quinoa, corn,

potato or even soy pasta available. I pretty much only like quinoa,

besides rice.
