Common questions
What can I substitute for pasta in gluten-free meals?
Rice pasta, chickpea pasta, lentil pasta, and zucchini noodles are all excellent gluten-free alternatives. Certified gluten-free pasta made from rice or corn holds up well in baked dishes and cream sauces.
Is rice always gluten-free?
Plain rice -- white, brown, or wild -- is naturally gluten-free. The risk comes from flavoured rice mixes, rice cooked in shared pots, or sauces added at the table, so always check labels and preparation methods.
How do I thicken gluten-free sauces?
Cornstarch, arrowroot powder, and tapioca starch are reliable gluten-free thickeners. Use about half the amount you would use of regular flour and whisk into a cold liquid slurry before adding to the hot sauce.
Is worcestershire sauce gluten-free?
Many Worcestershire sauce brands contain malt vinegar derived from barley, which is not gluten-free. Look for specifically labelled gluten-free versions such as Lea & Perrins in the US or check the label carefully.
Is gluten-free pasta labeled for a cross-contact check?
Read the gluten-free pasta or rice-noodle box, cook it in fresh water so a shared pot is not a cross-contact risk, and ask your clinician about your own needs. These recipes use that swap instead of a gluten-containing noodle.
