Review

Rice pasta that is quick to cook and comes in a variety of shapes.  So far I have seen spaghetti, tiny shells and penne.

100% rice means no worrying additives, thickeners or preservatives!

Pros

Quick to cook, cheaper than other alternatives.  Quite a light taste, not dense and gummy like a buckwheat pasta.  All the benefits of rice but in a different shape.

Have made macaroni cheese with it and it was great.

$5 for 3 x 250 gram bags from the Barrow grocery shop in Westfield Downtown (Auckland Central).

Cons

Cooks really quickly so you need to keep an eye on it. 

Pasta shells seem to hold a bit of water - I guess the shape makes them hard to drain.

So far have only been able to find it at one shop.

Bottom Line

A nice alternative to heavy, gummy gluten free pasta.  Worth trying - I haven’t found any pasta I prefer more and it’s very reasonably priced.
