What Is Gluten Friendly Pasta?

Forchetta’s gluten friendly pasta is made from corn, rice, and potato starch instead of wheat. It gives restaurants and retailers a pasta option for gluten-conscious menus. It is produced in a shared facility, which is why Forchetta calls it gluten friendly rather than gluten free.

It is part of Forchetta’s fresh pasta lineup for kitchens that need a wheat-free option on the menu. Ask the team about current shapes and formats before you plan a menu around it.

How to Cook Fresh Gluten Friendly Pasta

Corn and rice pasta can soften quickly. Taste early, and drain as soon as it’s tender. See the full fresh pasta cooking guide for salting, saucing, and pasta-water tips.

Cooking Time

Cook Gluten Friendly Pasta in plenty of well-salted boiling water and start tasting early. This pasta can go from tender to soft quickly. Drain as soon as it’s al dente, and finish it in the sauce for 30–60 seconds. Use the timing printed on your package as the final guide.

Storage & Freezing

Keep fresh Gluten Friendly Pasta refrigerated in its packaging and use it by the date printed on the package. For longer storage, freeze it in a sealed bag or container. Portion it first so you can cook only what you need. Frozen product should be cooked straight from the freezer. Don’t thaw it first, because thawing makes fresh pasta sticky and prone to clumping.
