- Is this spaghetti fully gluten free?
- Yes. It is made from rice and lentil flour with no wheat, so it fits a gluten-free diet. Check the package for certified gluten-free labeling if you are highly sensitive.
- How does it compare with plain rice pasta?
- It is firmer and less gummy, with more protein and fiber from the lentils. The trade-off is a stronger, earthier flavor.
- How should I cook it?
- Boil in well-salted water, stir in the first minute to separate the strands, and taste early. Pull it a minute before you think it is done, since it softens fast.
- Does it taste like lentils?
- Slightly. The lentil flour adds a mild earthy note that shows through light sauces but fades under tomato, garlic and olive oil.
- How much pasta is in a box?
- Each box holds 12 ounces, roughly four to six side servings or three main servings.
- Can I use it in baked pasta dishes?
- Yes. Undercook it slightly before baking so it finishes in the oven without going soft.
