The Easy Way To Make Gluten-Free Pasta Taste Way Better
By Grace Allison
The next time you attempt to make gluten-free pasta, cook the pasta two minutes less than the specified time on the packet instructions.
Cooking gluten-free pasta is about tasting when it's ready instead of timing it. The pasta wants to have that perfect al dente bite.
If it's seriously al dente (crunchy), you will need to cook it longer, but keep tasting it frequently to ensure you don't miss that gap between just right and gummy mess.
Gluten-free pasta is also prone to sticking together, so it's important to stir it frequently and toss it in olive oil after draining.
Gluten-free pasta often swells more than regular pasta, so ensure there's extra water when boiling. Salting the water is also crucial to liven up the taste.
