Pasta is my favourite food. I would ALWAYS have it when I was a teenager and lived at home (around 4 or 5 times a week!). I now realise that, due to my wheat intolerancy, it was doing a lot more harm than good!
I eat a lot of spaghetti bolognese (or, at least, my own version of it) because of all the vegetables I can hide in it (I'm not a massive veggie fan). I usually eat it with pasta shapes because of the mess I create when I eat it with actual spaghetti, but I decided to go for a change recently.
Here is the pasta after cooking for 15-20 minutes...
I ate it with my bolognese-mince-vegetables hybrid and parmesan cheese.
Taste: Very nice! I like my pasta a little overdone, but it kept its texture and didn't fall apart or go soggy when I ate it.
Price: £1.30 for a 500g packet. Very reasonable for gluten-free pasta.
Availability: Asda "Free From" brand. Tesco and Sainsbury's also do their own versions for the same price.
Clearly labelled gluten-free?: Yes. Part of the Asda "Free From" range. "Gluten free" and "Wheat free" on the label, with the Coeliac UK Crossed-Grain logo.
Nutritional value: As with most carbohydrates, good in moderation!
Comparison to the regular version: Taste and texture-wise, pretty much the same. When I looked at Asda's own version of regular spaghetti it was 75p for the same amount.
Overall rating: 7/10
It's nothing special, but it tastes just like normal spaghetti, and was very good quality and easy to cook. Definitely recommended if you want something simple.
