One of the toughest things about living gluten free is finding products that resemble the normal foods that I miss. Often gluten free food products have a strange texture or the taste is off. Sometimes, they are just plain and simply bad.
Today for lunch, we tried the Angel Hair Brown Rice Pasta with Golden Milled Flax Seed by Hodgson Mill. I prepared the pasta according to package directions and promptly rinsed it in cold water. One thing I immediately noticed was that the angel hair didn't clump together. I feel pretty sure that it would have if I had not rinsed it, as the water was very cloudy. I served the pasta with a bit of meat sauce, topped with Parmesan. It tasted wonderful. The texture was perfect and it reminded me of gluten containing pasta. I can't report on leftovers because there are none.
I will definitely be purchasing this brand of pasta again. It was a gift from my mother, so I'm not absolutely sure of the price, but Wal-Mart does sell it by the case (12 - 8 oz. boxes) for about $45, or a little under $4/box. Even better, Hodgson Mill currently has their Angel Hair, and other pasta varieties, marked down by 50% at their online store. A case of six - 8 oz. boxes will cost you $8.25 + shipping (which starts at about $10). UPS ground shipping costs do NOT increase proportionally as you add cases. This is a situation, where you truly do save on shipping if you buy more...which is exactly what I plan on doing. My days of preparing two different pasta dinners are over!!
