 Yummy!Aug 04, 2008
By Diane Strickland

Someone served this at a dinner party long before I knew I should be eating gluten-free, and it was delicious - the same great taste as regular pasta but without the starchy fullness. Now it's all I serve, even to guests, and some of them have begun eating it, although they could eat regular pasta if they desired. This just tastes so good! For those of us who DO have to eat gluten-free, it's a God-send. All the pastas in this brand are just as good. Try them!

 ancient harvest quinoa rotelleJul 05, 2011
By bindeli
this pasta cooks up and tastes very much like wheat pasta. the taste is very good. i only wish i had been able to read, or explored the ingredient list further. even on the front of the box, that little white tag inset on the upper left green panel, says, "corn-quinoa" blend. so if corn is not a problem for you, it should be fine. going form wheat to corn flower is not a move in a positive direction, in my mind. it is gluten free, so if that is your main objective, this product satisfies.

Great productDec 01, 2007
By D. Henry
I have tried several of the Quinoa brand products and they have all been great.
The instructions on all of their types of pasta that I have tried all say to boil the pasta from 4-6 minutes. I haven't gambled with over-cooking this pasta, though I know other gluten-free pastas will disintegrate if you over-cook.

PERFECTION in Pasta - QuinoaMar 08, 2011
By Maa
I'm new to the gluten free diet, and I'm a pasta fan. Its a staple in our house, everyweek we have it once or twice a week. I've tried other gluten free pastas, and they are ok IF you eat them all as soon as you cook it. If you want to reheat it it would turn to mush. I stumbled upon the Quinoa brand pastas and fell in love with pasta again.
This pasta not only stands up to bold flavors, but to reheating as well. While its more expensive than I would have liked, its made pasta an option again so it's worth the extra cost.
I would recommend skipping the "time method" of cooking, as I've found I need my noodles cooked a couple minutes longer than the box suggests so i've switched to the taste it method.
My gluten eating family prefers the consistancy of this pasta to its wheat based counter parts. Its a hardier noodle and it seems (to me) to be more filling. While the box sizes are generally 1/2 a pound vs the full pound you get with wheat pasta you actually get away with making less pasta and it going just as far.
The other varieties of this pasta are equally good, I'm a happy pasta eater again.

 crunchy!Sep 24, 2009
By amazon addict

The labels screams not to over cook, but I've cooked it several times, exceeding the max cooking time by 1-3 minutes, and it's still crunchy in the middle. Tastes great, though! Looks like I'm the only one with this problem, and no, I am not at a high altitude. For a gluten free option I may just stick to spaghetti squash!
