This is such a helpful post! I have a box Bionaturae pasta in my cupboard that came with my Cooks box from Bon Appetite - time I get cookin' that pasta to see how great it tastes. Although this one is not gluten free, but I am very happy it is organic.

I am sure it will be! I have decided moving forward only to buy high quality pasta. I've discovered an Italian grocery market nearby and I'm obsessed!

My favorite is the Garofalo brand of GF pasta. I’ll search out Rummo and Bionaturae, but we may have different product availability in Canada!

I haven't tried the Garofalo and Rummo GFs here yet, but we have them at the regular Italian supermarket. That will be in an upcoming test and post for sure!

Good to know! I might have been looking in smaller stores with less variety, or maybe they're only available in bigger cities?

Thank you for doing that! I love the Rummo pasta but I don't think we get the Bionaturae one in the UK. I've also found some of the UK's own brand gluten free pastas are pretty good. I think the mix of carbs in the ingredients help. I.e so not all rice flour.

I agree - I think the all rice ones never get al dente, they just go straight from uncooked to floppy!

Thank you for this!

I was really impressed by the Rummo and I keep it on hand for when we have GF friends over. Excited to try your #1.

Hi Gabrielle! If you can find the Morelli gf linguine from my list as well it’s also a gf home run! 😍

So helpful, Rachel! We love Taste Republic, too, for fresh pasta, and Bionaturae is top notch.

So glad you enjoyed it, Cynthia! I also can’t wait to use Rachel’s list when we’re in the States :-)

This is such an amazingly helpful post! The truth is, we don't eat much pasta at out house because the GF pasta is so subpar. I will be looking for Bionaturae for sure! I don't do well with corn, but I'm so glad you did the work and found another option! Thank you!

I hope you find one you love Idris- I’m so happy the gf pasta choices are improving they used to be sooooo miserable

Thanks for this post! I needed a gluten-free pasta option, and I just don't like the texture of the Banza that I had bought for a recipe.

Happy to help!

This is so great! I usually stick with Jovial because it's easy for me to find at the grocery store. I have a love-hate relationship with chickpea pasta - I've had it turn to mush a few times! I recently splurged on Giada's new line of gluten-free pastas (which are made from corn), and I like those a lot.

I need to order some of Giada's pasta so I can try it out!! I think the brands that include corn usually come out really well!!

Expand full comment

Yes, I think the corn-based pastas come closest to regular pasta! It was worth the splurge!

Love this post — it's so helpful! I've never tried Bionaturae but apparently I need to!

I really like this bucatini. It’s expensive, so it’s an occasional treat. https://italianharvest.com/products/bucatini-gluten-free-corn-and-rice-pasta

That looks fabulous Sari! I’ve never seen it before but I’ve just ordered some!

There’s something about that shape of noodle that gives it a great bite.
