It serves as an ideal canvas for culinary creativity, letting the sauce take centre stage while still adding its own delightful element to the dish.What sets this gluten-free pasta apart is its ingredient list. 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!

We tried this as my son was asked by a dietitian to go on a gluten free diet. Even though he is back to eating wheat we are all still eating this pasta! It’s absolutely delicious and we prefer it to regular pasta. We did try some alternative gluten free pastas from a couple supermarkets and they were terrible, so the lovely taste and texture seems unique to this brand.

I enjoy using these lasagna sheets to make tasty veggie dishes. I awarded 4 stars as they do require a fair amount of sauce to keep them them from becoming tough and chewy, especially at the edges of the dish.

I waited until I have used this pasta for over a month before reviewing it as I wanted to try it in several dishes, cooked in different ways. Each and every time I have used it, it has turned out just perfectly, exactly as you would want and hope pasta to taste and look.I have tried many different types of gluten free pasta and I can confidently say that this is easily the best I have tasted. It really does taste like 'real' pasta. I have found that cooking it a little longer than the packet states works best for me but I do prefer my pasta to be on the softer side rather than al dente (sorry, to all of the traditionalists and gourmets out there!) I just add a few extra minutes onto the cooking time and this gives a softer bite without being in the slightest bit mushy. Unlike some other gluten free pastas that can very easily be overcooked and can start to disintegrate, I cannot imagine this ever being a problem with the Garofalo pasta. It keeps its shape well and doesn't lose any of its lovely taste.Overall, if you are searching for a gluten free pasta that gives you all of the taste and texture of typical durum wheat pasta, stop looking. This might just be it!

I bought this for my hubby who is diabetic, he is pleased with it and said he cannot detect any difference in the taste or texture. The cook time was the same too and he is pleased with the over all quality. So a winner as far as we are concerned. I have been using this company for a few years now, for our families meals and now it is helping my hubby to continue to enjoy meals along with the family.

Although I always looking for italian pasta produced in Italy, i never came across Garofalo GF pasta before. It’s been a good discovery. Nice quality of pasta, holds well the cooking and is tasty too!My baked pasta was perfect, I like it 😊

The best GF pasta product for money there is in the market ; and I have been through a bunch. Kids love it even the ones that don’t need GF diet. It works really well for creamy pasta or tomato based pasta recipe; but be carful not to overcook to prevent mushy outcomes.

Exactly as described but the taste is nothing like normal pasta!
