Spinach and Brown Rice Spaghetti Pasta 12 Ounces (Case of 12)

I'm allergic to gluten, and although I can tolerate some now and then, eating it regularly causes all manner of immune system annoyance. When I finally figured this out and laid off the gluten, my physical condition improved immensely. But I'm a total spaghetti maniac. I was raised among Italian families, my nose teased by sauces that brewed all day, and then when dinner came, delighted by superb pasta dishes of many kinds, quite often spaghetti. Getting the news about my gluten allergy was like being slapped across the face. With a brick. So I've been on a search that lasted years, hunting for a gluten-free spaghetti that had the right texture, went well with the same things that regular spaghetti does, and tasted good, if not exactly like the traditional wheat-based spaghetti does. That search, let me tell you, has been a trail of tears. One rice-based product after another deliquesced in the pot, even before it could be served, much less eaten. Those that made it to the plate still looking vaguely like spaghetti inevitably tasted like something pulled from a dumpster. No, really - it's not hyperbole. Wheat based pasta has a unique taste, and trying to replicate both taste and texture appears to be a complete dead end. But Tinkyada has hit a (perhaps "the") sweet spot: They got the texture exactly right (based on cooking time, you can get any kind of pasta-like texture you would expect), and they've created a lovely flavor that, while not that of spaghetti, is *excellent*, and also, very importantly, has gone well with everything I think of as going well with standard pasta: Shrimp, garlic, parmesan, tomato sauces, salt, pepper, clams, sausage, meat or meatballs, olive oil... the whole nine yards, as it were. Wine and salad both contribute just as they do with the real thing. You can feed it to visitors as a specialty pasta, mentioning the spinach rather than the gluten free (unless someone asks, of course), and it goes over quite well. This is the one to try. Initially, when you boil it, stay with it rather than using a timer. Check it regularly so you can take it off the heat and drain it at just the right consistency. At my altitude, at least (approx 2300 feet ASL) it goes through the various stages of stiff, al dente and soft at a faster rate than the regular stuff, so you do need to keep a closer eye on it. Once you're familiar with the correct cooking time for your preferences, just set a timer and you're good to go. It cooks consistently from package to package, so once you get it all figured out, there's nothing to it. My highest complements to Tinkyada. Great job. Thank you so much for a really, really excellent product. Now if someone would just manage to come up with a good bread, or a flour that can be used to make bread, I'd be all set. But that search is still ongoing; after hundreds of flours and finished bread products, I'm still looking.

THE BEST non sucky GF pasta available. It does take a bit longer to cook (16 minutes). Tinkyada noodles actually survive the fridge!

Delicious pasta, a GF fave in our house.

Delicious gluten free spaghetti. I've enjoyed it for years but have had difficulty finding it in stores. I was very happy to find it on Amazon. I was concerned about buying 12 packs at one time but the packages were very fresh with an expiration date of 2025. I will definitely order again.

Have tried almost all of the GF pasta out there...tinkyada seems the best. Good texture, whole grain, reliable.

I have more food allergies and sensitivities than I'd like to think about and I love pastas! So when I had to remove the traditional pastas from my diet, I was heartbroken. I was on the search for an alternative and wasn't happy with my findings until I tried this product. It's delicious with your traditional marinara sauces, which is my personal favorite. I have tried it with an olive oil base and seasoning and didn't like it as much, but with the marinara sauces, it matches really well! I don't and can't have any other pasta sauces so I can't speak for how well those match. I don't notice a huge difference when it's replacing traditional pastas. My boyfriend was hesitant to try it and was more than pleasantly surprised and now this is the only pasta we both eat. We travel full time and it's challenging to find grocery stores of any type that stock this product so the option to buy in bulk is a dream come true!! Now we will always stay stocked!

Delicious - even my husband, who has no gluten problems, not only likes this but says it's better than regular pasta. The Tinkyada products are fantastic - just wish we could order them in smaller quantities or in a mix of types to make up a package of twelve. It gets difficult to store 12 penne, 12 spaghetti, etc.

My husband is Celiac . We both eat the same diet, and his love is spaghetti! We enjoy the spinach spaghetti more than any other gluten free spaghetti. I can only buy it at one store and only when they order it occassionally! I was very happy to have another company where I can purchase it. I would recommend it to any one who needs a gluten free diet, and misses eating regular spaghetti.
