Giadzy Gluten-Free Stelline is a tiny star-shaped pastina made in Italy's Po River Valley from non-GMO corn and rice flours and water, with no emulsifiers or preservatives. It is kneaded, shaped and slowly air-dried by artisan pasta makers using the same methods as the brand's wheat pasta. The small stars suit soups, broths and simple butter or olive oil dishes, and the starchy cooking water can help bind pasta to sauce. Against typical gluten-free pastas, which often turn gummy or fall apart, it aims for a firm al dente bite and fuller grain flavor; buyers rate it highly, though it is a niche shape rather than an all-purpose noodle.
