TK Kenyon, the Celiac Maniac, is here to tell you that recently, Schar pasta began appearing in my health food stores and grocery stores. It was expensive, so I put off trying it.Well, I tried it, and it's flipping awesome.
This is as close to "real" pasta as I've tasted in years. Other corn and rice pastas were gritty and/or slimy, but Schar came out absolutely wonderful: firm, toothsome, and actually tasted good!
It's made in Italy. Go figure: the Italians know how to make really good pasta.
While I still enjoy the soy-based Nutrition Kitchen's Green Soybean pasta that I posted about here, but Schar's Fusilli is a closer approximation of the real pasta thing. It was great with marinara, alfredo, and cold in pasta salad.
I plan to try every Schar product out there.
Schar has a nicely informative website as well.

I also just found Schar pasta recently. It is fantastic! I am a foodie and was long before I had to go GF. I tried the tagliatelle, and other than the fact that the pieces are short, the taste (to me) is actually better than reg. pasta. The only difference I can find is that wheat pasta is a little starchy on the outside which holds the sauces better. But I really like the Schar.
I'm glad to know about Walmart having it - I think we GF people get ripped off on the prices because there's no incentive to keep prices reasonable. Maybe stores like Walmart will force the issue. I have the same problem with Breads From Anna mixes. Absolutely love her bread, but the prices are ridiculous.
