Finally! Pasta with flavor. We have tasted a lot of different pastas and just about all of them have been pretty bland tasting. They relied mostly on the sauces and other flavor additives for flavor. Not so much the case with these Rice Vegetable Twists from Mrs. Leeper’s. The flavor isn’t bold or anything like that, but they do have a nice light flavor of their own which would enhance the overall flavor of the dish. I think this pasta would go great with some alfredo sauce or as a nice pasta salad.
When I cooked this pasta, I will admit that I forgot about it and let it boil just a bit too long. It was a little on the mushy side, but considering I overcooked it, it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. Despite overcooking it, the end product was still good. It was a lot more forgiving than some of the other rice pastas we have had in the past. We had a guest over for lunch and she even mentioned that it had great flavor. I think we all might have enjoyed it even more had I cooked it for the correct amount of time. Take this as a lesson from my mistake…try to remember that you’re cooking pasta and don’t let it overcook.
This pasta is great for everyone whether you’re gluten free or not. It tastes no different than regular pasta. If you have allergies, you will be happy to hear that this pasta is not only wheat/gluten free, but it is also casein free.
Taste: Great flavor in this pasta. That is probably because spinach powder and beet powder are added to it for flavor. The texture is also pretty good, but to ensure that you enjoy it to its full potential…don’t overcook it.
Labeling: Wheat free, gluten free, casein free…this pasta has all the right labels to appeal to the celiac and the gluten intolerant. The colors used on the package are also very pleasant and eye catching. This pasta has a lot going for it.
Packaging: Simple sealed plastic packaging. Looks like it keeps for a while too…our package had a “Best By” date of 041013.
