@@zunyly It tastes like regular pasta. Just don't over cook it. Cook it the least amount it says on the package. The penne shape holds up better than the twisty one. It is way less expensive than brands you find in a regular grocery store. Also, some grocery brands are made out of corn, which I prefer not to eat due to all the insecticide spray needed to grow. Buy some, make a portion, and if you really don't like it, put the rest (without sauce) in a vegetable soup. Let me know what you think!
Thank you!! Our daughter has many food allergies and sensitivities and mix that with resistant eating (due to autism) and it makes for a difficult time finding healthy replacements. This was so helpful.
I've tried the Banza pasta, and I tried for the whole box to make it taste good, with the desired texture. So many packages have corn, or a corn derivative, that I am extremely cautious. Wheat starch gives me belly problems, but not gluten, so I often just make my own pasta. I work the gluten into a ball, let it rest, and roll it out. It can be a lot of work, so I don't make it often. Now, I'm going to have to watch that macaroni cheese video of yours. I love macaroni cheese, and I have a bit of a batch of my gluten dough left. Thank you for this. I'm going to have to stalk Amazon and see what they have available. The last I knew, they had run out of supplies when I ordered powdered goats' milk.
Will try the bio natura. Jovial has top notch tomatoes and beans too. Barilla is Italy’s leading brand of pasta so must give that a try too. The lentil and chickpea pastas are definitely NOT close. Thanks for reviewing.
This was a terrific video, chef. I have yet to find a gluten-free pasta that was any good. I'll try your recommendation. I'm not strictly gluten-free, but, I don't feel well after eating pasta exactly like you describe, so I've given it up. I'm not sure, though, if it's the gluten or just a wheat sensitivity. I used to love pasta, and I'd love to find one that actually resembles real pasta. Great idea for a video. Thank you for making this.
My mom has been full blown gluten intolerant for decades. They say it’s genetic but I’ve not been tested. I have found that grains in general don’t do me any justice but wheat other than 00 Italian pretty much destroys me. I feel like crap after I eat wheat. Interestingly enough though some beer I can tolerate. A local brewer told me it was because amylase is used in some brews and it breaks down gluten. I just avoid it all.
@@AwareHouseChef sounds like you have celiac disease. If a family member has it, you're more like to get it. I'm 3rd generation on my mom's side of the family that's had celiac.
I don't need gluten free but I love both Bionaturae and Jovial brands of pastas and tomato products. They are organic and I can get them in glass jars which I want all from Azure Standard. Since they can be pricy I get them in bulk to save a little. I'm happy to see that you picked both brands in case I ever need gluten free for company. It amazes me you can pick up all the different favors and textures, me it's just food and if it passes the smell test I'll eat it. Maybe eating for years in a chow hall you learn not to be selective. LOL Once again I really enjoyed this video and I know those with food issues find your videos extremely helpful!!
I buy Jovial, and some -- it comes in a bag -- something Joy? It's rice pasta, and it's good. You know, I almost forgot. Before I found Jovial, I bought a lot of pastas at the Asian store. And they had some black pasta that had bounce, like regular pasta. I forgot all about that. It was the only one I ever found with that bounce. Jovial may have it a little bit, but the Chinese black pasta was the best. And, unfortunately, I am also allergic to corn. Or maybe not allergic, but definitely sensitive to. Gut doc said corn has a protein that resembles gluten.
I love corn as well but it does not love me. Thanks for sharing. By the way I think the noodles you may have purchased in the Asian store might be buckwheat noodles
I actually love banza but I haven’t tried most of those brands. I stay away from corn as well and Banza is really good but I’ve noticed there’s a very short window to cook it right
Yes. Very short. The others are more characteristic of traditional wheat pasta. Let me know about your experience with them if you try any of them. Cheers!
I used to love Jerusalem Artichoke spaghetti / angelhair (by deBoles maybe) but it’s not made any more…. 😢 I’d like a good no grain pasta for cashew parmesan sauce 🧸💕
Have you tried heart of palm spaghetti? I like it. It’s got more elasticity and strength than zucchini noodles. I have also had goo experience with konjac fettuccine noodles. I hope that helps and thank you for reaching out.
Great video it is very helpful and I love how in depth you are with your descriptions. I normally avoid all pasta because of food allergies and poor digestion, Though I am curious have you tried jovial cassava flour Gf pasta? Also have you found a 100% organic quinoa pasta that is good? Looking forward to the cauliflower pasta video maybe you could include cassava flour too as a comparison. :)
Super thankful for your kindness, and for the suggestion! I will look into Casa based gluten-free pasta and see what brands I come up with that I feel are really tasty. Thank you!
@@AwareHouseChef I learned all that you mentioned and see it's likely on a ship somewhere. What I found odd is the ingredients are "natural and organic"; so, is the natural the water, the percentage they don't even have to tell us, or the way they created the rice and lentils? You never know these days if you don't do deeper research. I was always curious about the one in the bag and the Jovial, it's amazing to get to see the comparisons you do. Like another commenter, I get my tomatoes from Jovial too. I have always trusted foods from Italy more than the USA, though these days I wonder what happens on the ship. Finding real organic food is like running a gauntlet; it's a ton of work trying to determine if there is deception or if what you have is truly healthy. Good food is life!
Let me get this straight. The name of each and every pasta you tried is called "this one?" It's getting really hard to move that red dot around and find when the camera shows the boxes.
I am so glad I revisited the new line up of pastas! Bionaturae is truly delicious. Let me know which one you prefer!
I love Trader Joes Organic brown rice pasta. Thank you for trying brands without corn.
Thank you for sharing that! I appreciate you reaching out!
Does it taste and feel like real pasta?

I had the Jovial recently and liked it, but am going to try your top picks next! Thanks for the advice
My pleasure! Thanks for reaching out!
Great review!!! I needed this info!
My pleasure! Thank you!
Thank you! This is the best review for gluten free pasta I've found. I will definitely look into the Bionaturae brand!
My pleasure! I appreciate you reaching out and the kindness. All the best!
Jovial is owned by the same company

I appreciate this review. I don't eat a lot of gluten free pasta! If I could find a single box to try of the best recommended...
I am dedicated fan of Delallo Whole Grain Brown Rice Pasta. Holds during cooking and has a good texture. Made in Italy if the packaging is true.
Thanks for sharing that recommendation. All the best!
Bionaturae, is my go to, I Order by the by the case in every shape they make.
Would you please do a video on best texture/flavor GF bread? 🙏
@@zunyly thank you! I’ll look into it!
Thank you for doing this review and tasting. I'm looking for gluten free bread and pasta options lthat taste like the real thing for an autistic child

I like tinkyada pasta the best. But I will try the ones that you liked. btw I am italian and know pasta.

Keep an eye out for it! It’s coming! Thank you for reaching out!

In Canada, Catelli's line of GF pastas is fantastic.
Looks like it’s available in the US as well. Thanks!
@@AwareHouseChef yeah it should be in some places. They're from Montreal. Montreal has a large Italian Canadian community.
Another very informative video, thanks!
Bill
Very kind of you! Much thanks! All the best Bill!
Jovial is my fav, created by a pasta family in Italy, so I know it is gmo free products
I have had great experiences all around with Jovial myself. Cheers
I've been gluten free for 15 yrs. Tinkyada is my to go pasta. Making some right now.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I've enjoyed Banza quite a bit, but I haven't had many other brands..
That’s great. You’ll like the other ones I feel a bit better. Cheers!
Jovial is my #1, Tolerant is my #2 when I want to switch it up.
Thanks!
Will try this
Let me know what you think!
The price they charge for this stuff is outrageous.
Yeah. Unfortunately
We are making pastitsio for my brother's upcoming wedding and the bride is gluten sensitive. Would you still use the top pick for that?
Definetly.
@@AwareHouseChef thank you!
Bio tells me it's lab created frankenfood. I love linguini. I'm off to do some research on Bionature.
It’s an Italian company and in Europe they call organic “bio” that’s not to say you’re instincts are off. Let me know what you find out. Thank you!

Hey you, and welcome!

Barilla gluten free spaghetti is amazing!!!!!!!
I had a different experience with barilla gf. Maybe the recipe has changed . Thanks for letting me know!
@@AwareHouseChef Try Raos spaghetti sauce, add some mushrooms, onions and ground chicken with Brarilla GF spaghetti. Amazing!
