Made from high-quality, wholesome ingredients, it's not just a substitute; it's a nutritional powerhouse. Packed with nutrients and free from artificial additives, I can enjoy my favourite pasta dishes guilt-free, knowing that I'm nourishing my body with every bite.Cooking this gluten-free pasta is a breeze, with a quick and easy preparation process that rivals any traditional pasta.

It has exceeded my expectations in every way, proving that you don't have to compromise on taste and quality when choosing a gluten-free lifestyle. I'm grateful to have discovered this pasta, and it has become a staple in my kitchen. Highly recommended!

This brand of pasta is the best brand of gluten free pasta I have tasted, easy to cook, but needs to be stirred when cooking as it tends to sick to the pan easily, texture of pasta is perfect,

This pasta delicious. I could end there because it's true and pretty much all you need to know. But I'm guessing you want a bit more than that?Well, this pasta cooks as quickly and easily as your standard wheat pasta; it doesn't need special treatment or coddling as some other "alternative pastas" do; it isn't gritty or fragile like some other "alt pastas"; it is delicious.However, like most "alternative" products in the food sphere, it is more expensive. We are fortunate in that we eat this because we like it, so we have it occasionally as a treat; for those who rely on this food to live healthily, as with all the "alts", as mentioned, you will need to account for this in your budget. It's why I've dropped it to four stars.

This Pasta is excellent and is the closest taste/texture you can get to non-gluten free. The Casarecce is a good sturdy choice that keeps it's shape well. I've served it to several people who have not noticed any difference. Highly recommended.

This pasta is the best pasta I have ever had since I had to start on gluten free diet.

Lovely gluten free pasta,great price

What proportion of your pasta is made up of potato flour or starch. I believe it makes the product stronger and less brittle?Jane Wheaton

although garofalo has decided to lower the content of its package as it used to be 500g now has kept the same price but the content is 400g, you cannot beat the taste and while it is impossible to get perfect al dente GF pasta this is not far off, but you must really pay attention while you cooking it because before you know it is gone soft and spoils the taste. Othert brands instead the go from hard to too soft and so they are rubbish and make you quickly go back to non gf pasta or move to other grains altogether. BY eating garofalo you sure to find a way to keep eating pasta and enjoy it as the real deal, I advice though to may be do not consume pasta more than once a week if you are Gluten sensitive, the whole Idea of being G sensitive is that your diet should not included that many grains even if they are GF, dont go for substitutes much instead go for veg, fruit, nuts, seed, plantain flour etc
