Giada de Laurentiis
Giada de Laurentiis is an all-things-Italian brand known for TV shows and trending pasta recipes.
“Giada de Laurentiis is known for her TV shows and trending pasta recipes like sheet-pan lasagna and lemon spaghetti.”
Gluten-Free Pasta Test
Giada's gluten-free stelline pasta was tested by serving to her Italian aunt Raffy who loved it without knowing it was gluten free.
“Raffy, if we’re to believe the social media experiment, had no idea they were gluten free and loved them.”
Taste Test Success
My husband couldn't tell the pasta was gluten free and asked for more after eating it.
“My husband didn't even notice the pasta was gluten free, a total win in my kitchen.”
Gluten-Free Pasta Texture
The stelline pasta holds shape in sauce and doesn't fall apart or become gummy.
“The two I’ve tried so far, especially the stelline, have a toothsome texture like any regular pasta, hold their shape in any sauce, and are perfect in hot dishes and cold pasta salads.”
Celiac Safe Production
The pasta is made in a celiac-safe facility in Lombardy’s Po River Valley using corn flour, rice flour and mountain spring water.
“It’s made with corn flour, rice flour and mountain spring water, that’s it.”
Comfort Food Recipe
The stelline is used in a comfort food recipe with butter, Parmesan cheese, fresh pepper and lemon juice.
“You cook the teensy pasta stars in broth until they’re soft, and then, without draining them, you add a little butter and a good handful (or two) of Parmesan cheese.”
