How to Cook Gluten Free Pasta the Right Way! No More Mush

[@EbonyEnigma13]

I watched this a couple hrs ago, and just got finished making shrimp w/ gf pasta. I took all your tips into consideration and it came out great!!! I was cooking it all wrong. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@qwerty11222]

I thought of having spaghetti for dinner but all I have is gluten free sphagetti and last time I made one of these, it was a horrible experience and had to throw it away so I checked on KZbin and found your video. Now I will cook spaghetti later in the evening without worrying about the stickiness. Thank you💙💛.. and i noticed that the video is from 2017 and I checked whether you are still uploading videos or this is the only video like most videos in KZbin but it's really nice to see you still upload regularly because you explain very lovely and in great details.. keep uploading videos.. I'll subscribe❤

My cold pasta turns out fine. I just add a decent amount of dressing. Thanks for the cooking time recommendation 🤗

[@pattijesinoski1958]

Need to use much more water than wheat pasta. Water qty is based on how many ounces you are making. You will see more stickiness if not enough water. Timing depends on what your pasta is made of, as well as how much you're making. After more than a decade of gf, the best tip I learned. Have a large bowl of ice water ready. Drain your pasta. Plunge it in ice water to stop the cooking. Feel that pasta has cooled. Then drain a second time. Gluten free pasta can then be used for cold or hot sauces. It will not turn to mush. Your friend probably did not do the above to . Also Gluten Free pasta Takes Sauces differently, Whether Hot OR Cold dishes. You need larger qty of sauces. They do not react with sauce the same as wheat pasta.. they will seem harder if not enough sauce used in cold dishes. They won't be as creamy feeling because all the sauce is absorbed in the noodle. If you are wanting to make a goulash or baked pasta dish. Do the same as above, but stop closer to al dente. Drain. Plunge into ice cold water to stop cooking. Drain. Then mix with your ingredients to bake. Let your leftover pasta dish cool as much as possible before putting lid on and refrigerating. That will also stop it from turning to mush. If on a hurry and possible, put leftovers in another dish that is already at room temperature so the pasta will cool down faster.

Wow, this video really helped!!! I mean wow! Every single time I made gluten free pasta, I thought I HAD to add oil. The pasta always turned out mushy and DISGUSTING. Even when I somewhat "nailed" the cooking process, the pasta still had a mushy texture. I followed this method, and my pasta was cooked beautifully! No gooey mess 🙂. Thank you!

[@zenaaubrey2701]

Thank you we made gluten free pasta for the first time. And it did kind of turn to mush. I'll follow this method next time I make some.

[@JipCProductions]

Thank you for this, I struggle with literally this same spaghetti from Trader Joe's. Was looking for a way to get rid of that stickiness.

[@meralbelbez6151]

Thank you for the detailed perfect explanation.❤

[@CaulinaLeacock-k8b]

Thanks kindly. Learned to rinse with hot water if clumped.

[@vwbug1971]

thanks for the tips, i.e. the rinsing, and even the use of the wooden spoon. Also, the nine minute timing is helpful.

[@nelsonirizarry1959]

I have been going nuts trying to make this pasta thank you for showing me. 👌👍🏻😎

[@pattijesinoski1958]

See my added note

[@ChicBeautyxo13]

I didn’t realize there was a special way to cook gf Pasta! I bought a pack, made it and threw it all out bc I hated it. Now to try again!!!

[@jen_rivas]

Awesome! Hope it worked out!

[@MaximC]

What sucks, is that it seems nobody makes *whole grain* gluten free spaghetti. Or if you find it, it usually costs much more. This needs to change.

[@anitaf2145]

Should have watched this before I cooked dinner but my dish still was amazing. Thanks for the tips

[@jen_rivas]

Next time!

[@realloreal]

I learned the hard way. But eventually I learned how to make gluten free pasta. I loved it. Thank you "Plants Not Perfection". for all your help...

[@LegacyKnight-zm6vz]

This is the first time I've seen gluten free pasta cooked and not looking like an undercooked mushy mess.

[@TheonlyCarolinaLiberatoGomizel]

Amazing l did and was perfect Thanks to save my life ❤

[@celtic889]

Thank you very much for this! I never had to use gluten free pasta until I was making a dish for a friend who had allergies. I thought it was me who messed up the boiling process as it looked very mushy at the end.

[@pennynichols8405]

Great video, thanks. One thing though, I’ve used tinkyada gluten free pasta and make a pasta salad that turns out pretty good. It will last a couple of days

[@MatteeTheRogue]

Very helpful thank you. I have celiac so this sort of thing is great for me. I love pasta...

[@jamescarp8440]

your video was excellent made me a hero with the family. thank you

[@TheFLOPY3032]

Really worth it to watch . Thank you !

[@jen_rivas]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ssvr]

Can I boil the water in my kettle and then transfer to pot to bring it to a rolling boil? To save time?

[@micuchua70]

Great! This is all I needed to know about gf pasta. Thank you.

[@yamelicr8839]

Thank you so much for the tip.

[@craftycrafter1960]

I have never been able to make rice pasta that was good at all. Have hated everything about it. I wondered if it was the kinds I was trying but it’s probably how I am making it.

[@JM-Q]

Thanks for sharing 🥰😋😋😋👍

[@SandSnowMXGirl]

This is really helpful thank you. :)

[@sarahcharles822]

Thank you so much for this !!!!!! , first time eating actually spaghetti and not mush

[@jen_rivas]

Yasssss! I'm so glad you finally got to taste GF pasta the way it was meant to be

[@susaville]

Just curious, is there a reason not to add salt? I learned that it keeps the noodles less squishy.

[@jen_rivas]

You can totally add salt but I have only done that for flavor purposes not sure about texture

[@kuroe-chan5190]

Mine came out to firm for me And it still gave that groggy feeling after eating unfortunately. I was scared of it getting mush that I didn’t cook enough

[@astrovibezzncm]

Ill give it a try

[@jen_rivas]

Great! I hope you do!

[@yannisgfcooking9144]

Nice!!! Sure I will make it!!!!👍

[@christinafontanez1885]

I’m going to try this cause my daughter was diagnosed with celiac and the pasta is so hard for me . They all look like thick milk boiling and they taste like it’s all mushy together or not done and I feel so bad for her not able to eat like we do our pasta.

[@jen_rivas]

Christina Fontanez please let me know how it goes!

[@christinafontanez1885]

Jen Rivas sure will. We just had pasta on Monday Sunday so I will keep you posted . Sunday was the worst but she still ate it. I felt so bad .

[@Carneyjosh]

How’d it go?

[@christinafontanez1885]

@@Carneyjosh it came out so perfect

[@xxhollyxx97]

I will give this a shot!

[@jen_rivas]

Keep me posted!

[@bejbet1217]

Thank you so much no more sticky pasta 😊

[@livenfree]

For 48 years I've heard ur to start with cold water but why?! I finally found a reason for it in my city water newsletter. It said its because of the water sitting in your hot water tank can pick up bacteria or heavy metals more than cold water which does not sit.

[@jen_rivas]

Interesting! I’ve never heard that.

[@livenfree]

@@jen_rivas thanks for the reply. So reason did you start with cold water?

[@jen_rivas]

@@livenfree When you start with warm or hot water it starts to cook the pasta from the outside in as opposed to cooking it from the inside out when you use cold water. This can cause a weird texture of pasta or a mushy pasta

[@EC-yd9yv]

But it's being cooked in the hot/boiled water ...so, I don't understand, why start from cold?!

[@micuchua70]

Thank you for posting this video. I made a very good gf pasta thank to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊

[@fredwbauer]

I'm curious why you should start with cold water?

[@tj4796]

That’s what I was thinking lol. Boiling water is boiling water. Doesn’t matter how you got there. Just wasting time starting with cold water.

[@Carneyjosh]

Hot water can pick up bacteria as it sits in the tank. Cold water doesn’t sit. Don’t die

[@tj4796]

@@Carneyjosh last time I checked boiling water is used to sterilize stuff..... baby bottles.... canning jars etc.

[@breez930]

Thank you!

[@andyantonioap]

Firstly you definitely put way too much water for such a small portion of pasta. Also you don't have to keep turning the pasta around just let it boil on a reduced heat and it should be fine.

[@BlakesPipes]

Corn is not gluten free?

[@jen_rivas]

Yes, corn is gluten free 😊

[@byakka]

Your fear of GM is misguided, I hope you find some time to learn about that technology. The pasta tips are on point, though, thanks!

[@jen_rivas]

thanks for the reply! Can you clarify what you mean by fear of GM?

[@byakka]

@@jen_rivas Sure, I mean the bit around 2:00

[@teachone2261]

GMO or not corn, rice and Quinoa are all gluten free grains and fine to eat !

[@jen_rivas]

Agreed 😉

[@Ed-fr6te]

GMO is not ok to eat! Unless you are trying to get cancer.

[@Balllsy]

You don't put oil in water to cook pasta.
