Canyon Bakehouse HERITAGE style gluten free bread. Toasted this takes like wheat based french bread.
You have to kind of look around for this. The HERITAGE style is harder to find.

Jovial GF pasta--it is a rice based pasta made in Italy. I think in a tasting session with pasta sauce on
it you would not be able to tell that it is not wheat based.

The Tinkyada and the Jovial have the same ingredient, "rice", but the pastas are dramatically
different. The Jovial even looks different when it is cooked and on a plate, i.e. it looks
more like a wheat based pasta.

Thank you for these tips Brandy. I will look for the Jovial brand pasta. Do you get it at Whole Foods?

This time I got it at Whole Foods but I've also seen it at Fresh Market. Box says they process soy in the same facility but I
had no problems.

Thanks, Brandy. A Whole Foods has opened in a neighboring town and I need to make a trip!

Thanks for the tip Brandy,

I just ordered some of the Jovial gluten free pasta. My search for good tasting GF pasta has not yielded one that I am really fond of yet.....

Hi Tommy,

Yes, it is weird that the ingredients are the same as Tinkyada brand which I've used for years but it cooks up and tastes totally
different. It says on the box that it is made in small batches in Italy. Normally you can easily break spaghetti
in half to shorten but this pasta is tougher to break. After cooked and strained it has a nice look on the plate
(not the typical GF mushy look.)

I think cook time is 11 minutes but check the box.

My boyfriend liked the Jovial pasta also. He eats whatever I cook so he's had a lot of the Tinkyada.

This is my favorite pasta, and trust me, I've tried many and thrown out lots......................my most recent had quinoa in it and not only did I not really like it, but I didn't do very well with it either.

It has corn in it so if you can't do corn, you wouldn't want to try it, but to me, it is the nearest to regular pasta that I've found. I used to be able to get it at Whole Foods, but they quit carrying it so I just ordered a dozen off of Amazon.

Thanks, Brandy. That is our go-to bread too. I haven't tried the Jovial pasta. I like Barilla GF spaghetti and fettuccine (have corn) but am not totally enthused with their elbow macaroni. I plan to give it a try. Deb

The Canyon Bakehouse is the only bread I use now....I believe it has egg but after 3 years of healing I am not noticing any issues eating it.

Tikiyada is still the only rice noodle that I use exclusively, it cooks up so well and my husband even likes it better than the wheat made.

I didn't care for the Canyon Bakehouse.......isn't that funny how we all like different things? I really like Udi's soft white................that's the only one I will eat now.................it tastes just like regular bread to me..............I think it has egg also but egg baked in things doesn't bother me now either.

With all the pasta that you like, what do you make with it and any recipes that you would like to share? And does the whole family like what you make?
Maybe you could put them in Dee's kitchen.

Brandy,

I tried the Jovial gluten free pasta last night. While it was their spirals and wasn't in true spaghetti form, I made spaghetti sauce with it.

I really liked the pasta!!

It is for sure the best gluten free pasta I have tried so far. I cooked it 12 minutes as it said on the box on a slow rolling boil and it came out perfectly. Always have to watch cooking gluten free pasta though because if you cook it too long, it turns mushy.

Jovial isn't available locally that I have found, but I can order it on Ebay or Amazon.

Now I have lots of great leftovers!
