REVIEW:
We boiled the pasta and tossed it with olive oil, green onions, and a little salt and pepper and served it with Salmon.  If we had not known prior to tasting this pasta, we would never have known it was gluten free.  The cost of this pasta is a little on the higher side, but that is probably because it is imported from Italy.  It gets a perfect score on taste and texture, but basing it on value, it falls a little short.    

Taste: The pasta had great texture and flavor.  The corn in the pasta gave it a lot of flavor.  Usually, pastas are pretty bland tasting because all it is flour and water, but with the addition of corn, which is sweet, a lot of flavor is added. 

Labeling: The labeling is very simple yet attractive.  Combined with a few Italian words I cannot read, this pasta is the real thing…Italian pasta.

Packaging: The Packaging on this is a 2 part package.  The dry noodles are placed in a sealed air-tight bag that is stuffed into a recyclable paperboard box.  A little wasteful in material as it is pretty much double packaging, however with a wonderful taste and texture like this, I guess it can be forgiven.
