Shop products for Wheat Free Pasta 
Wheat-free pasta contains grains, such as rice, potatoes, corn, quinoa,
and spelt.
Wheat-free pasta was developed for people who are sensitive to wheat or gluten (a protein
found in wheat). They usually contain rice, potatoes, corn,
kamut®, quinoa, spelt, and other
grains. VarietiesAs is the case with other types of pasta, wheat-free
pasta comes in several shapes and sizes, including macaroni, spaghetti, farfalle (bow-ties),
rotelle (corkscrews), conchiglie (shells), linguini (broad, flat noodles), and others. Buying and storing tipsLook for wheat-free pasta in the pasta section of natural food or grocery stores, or in the
bulk section of some health food stores. Store pasta, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for
six to eight months. AvailabilityWheat-free pasta is available year-round. Preparation, uses, and tipsAdd pasta a little at a time to boiling water. To prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom
of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cooking time varies,
depending on the pasta’s shape and size. After cooking, drain and rinse with cold water
to stop cooking. As a general rule, use light sauces for delicate pastas, such as capellini or
angel hair, and chunky, richer sauces for sturdy pastas like fuselli and linguini.
