Spaghetti is one of the most iconic pasta shapes in Italian cuisine, often associated with the famous spaghetti bolognese or simple aglio e olio. However, for those who cannot consume gluten, enjoying these beloved pasta dishes can be a challenge. Gluten Free Spaghetti offers a solution, allowing gluten-sensitive individuals to savor the same flavors and textures without worry.
Although spaghetti originated in Southern Italy, its appeal has spread worldwide. Traditionally made from durum wheat semolina, spaghetti is known for its firm, slightly chewy texture, which holds up well in various sauces. The gluten free version, made from rice and corn, closely mimics this classic texture, giving gluten free eaters a satisfying pasta experience.
Ingredients and Characteristics:
- Made from rice and corn flour (no gluten)
- Slightly firm texture, ideal for holding sauces
- Free from wheat, perfect for those with gluten sensitivity or intolerance
- Versatile, suitable for a wide variety of pasta dishes
Cooking Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the gluten free spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, then drain, reserving a little pasta water to adjust the sauce.
Serving Suggestions:
- Gluten Free Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce: A simple, delicious option. Toss the pasta with a fresh tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, and basil.
- Gluten Free Spaghetti with Meatballs: Classic spaghetti and meatballs—without the gluten! Serve with homemade or store-bought gluten free meatballs.

Storage Instructions:
- Keep uncooked pasta in a cool, dry place, away from humidity.
- Once cooked, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
