15 Best Gluten-Free Pastas – Parade: Entertainment, Recipes, Health, Life, Holidays

A decade ago, the gluten-free pasta options stocked on grocery store shelves were slim pickings. If you craved a big bowl of macaroni and cheese but were allergic or sensitive to gluten, you were out of luck. But now when you take a stroll down the pasta aisle, the gluten-free pasta options almost rival the number of different types of pasta shapes.

While the increase in gluten-free pasta options is definitely a positive, all the choices have created another problem: It’s hard to know which one to go for. How does red lentil compare to chickpea when it comes to taste and nutrition? What about edamame or black bean? And that’s before you factor in that, as with any food, some brands simply produce better-tasting and more nutrient-rich products than others.
