Gluten Free Featured Product: Ancient Harvest

GLUTEN FREE FEATURED PRODUCT
A regular postings of gluten-free products that I use myself and are available in my local grocery store.  You can check your local store for these items, order them online, or ask your store to stock them. I do not have any relationship with the companies in question, nor do I receive any form of compensation for these reviews.


Ancient Harvest Quinoa-Corn Pasta
Out of all the gluten-free pastas available at the local grocery store, this one is absolutely the closest in flavor and texture to wheat-based pasta.  The quinoa doesn't turn gummy and pasty the way rice flour has a tendency to, and the flavor is closer to wheat than corn pasta. I have used it successfully as stand-alone pasta, as well as cooking it into chicken-noodle soup (I used the spaghetti noodles broken into thirds).  The soup froze and re-heated well without the pasta breaking down in the process.  I keep pestering my local store to stock their lasagna noodles, but to no avail!
