The Lundberg Family Farms have been producing high quality rice products since 1937. It’s no wonder they make some of the best rice products around today. They have a large variety of products including rice, rice cakes, rice chips, risottos and pastas. Recently, we picked up their Organic Brown Rice Pasta Spaghetti that just happens to be gluten free.
Cooking this pasta is as simple as just boiling it in water. I tested the cooking directions on the box and the cooking times were accurate. The directions called for bringing 4 quarts of water in a large pot to a boil with the option of adding 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of oil. The salt is to flavor the pasta a little and the oil is to prevent it from sticking together. There are plenty of arguments for and against, but it’s really left up to you to make the final decision. I will recommend that if you are on a low sodium diet, leave the salt out. I decided to add the salt and oil in my cooking process. The box directions say to boil the pasta for 9 minutes, or 8-9 minutes for al-dente, making sure to keep a rolling boil throughout the cooking process. Following these directions, we ended up with perfectly cooked spaghetti.
The important part of pasta is its texture. If it’s too hard, it doesn’t absorb the flavor from the sauce enough and if it’s too soft, it falls apart and makes your bowl of pasta mushy and watery. Lundberg’s Brown Rice Pasta is perfect. It is soft enough so it chews very nicely and it absorbs the flavor from the sauce just right and it is firm enough that it maintains its form. We tossed this pasta with some chicken pesto sauce with some parmesan cheese. It was delicious.
Overall, we thought that this pasta was great. It is definitely something we would buy again. It’s gluten free, whole grain and vegan. What more can you ask for. The only drawback to this pasta is that it is a little on the pricier side at $3.95 for a 10oz package, but you have to remember that this is a high quality product that is gluten free, kosher, non gmo, vegan, and organic; all of which are makings for a great pasta.
