Corn Pasta Update

I had originally posted a  review of this pasta on July 5 and referred to it in the Great Noodle Debate. Although I still stand behind my statements, I have found one drawback to this particular pasta. It's texture changes when it's cold. I have cooked this pasta, stored it in the refrigerator, and reheated it with no problem. It will return to the proper texture when it's warmed thoroughly, but it becomes firmer and a little gritty when it's cold. This isn't a huge problem if you're planning on eating it warm, but it can cause a big issue if you're wanting a cold pasta salad. I made that mistake recently and ruined a big bowl of shrimp. The pasta was hard and chewy making the salad extremely unappetizing. Learn from my mistake and chose an alternative pasta for your cold pasta dishes.

This Pasta is so Corny!

Who'da thunk?! I've never seen corn pasta before, but I figured I'd give it a whirl. It has a low glycemic index, is egg free, dairy free, cholesterol free, and GMO free! I'm all for allergy free AND no genetic modification! All that and $1.99 a bag? I was sold! They cook up nicely (I even cut corners and cooked them in the microwave), and I have to admit I was surprised by how good they were. They have a good firm texture. Don't you hate it when pasta is mushy!? I do! Anyway, I thought corn = gritty... but they were very smooth. Pasta d'oro by Sam Mills gets 4 1/2 Happy Bellies. Warning, they're kinda funky if you eat them cold. I bought these at HEB, but you can get them from celiac.com too.
