Absolutely the best tasting GF pasta around!Jun 15, 2009
By Keith Macfarland
"Keith3196"
I've tried them all, Tinkyada, Mrs. Leepers, Le Venezienne, etc. Most were good to passable, but this pasta is the greatest and closest yet to real pasta.
Still retains a decent al-dente bite and even reheats fairly well as well, but you will need to a teaspoon of water in your container before nuking.
I wish though that GF pasta would cost less.. imported pasta from italy typically is on sale for .50 to .75 a lb, but corn pasta from italy costs roughly $4.50 or more a pound.. someday there will be enough demand or competition to drive down these costs.
Till then Schar rules and is worth the extra money when stacked against it's competition in the GF pasta market.

Far superior!Jul 24, 2010
By bdphelps
All of Schar's products are noticeably superior to many other gluten free brands.
I love their pasta. I've never had problems with mushiness, crumbling or any other classic gluten free characteristics with this pasta.

Tastes like real pasta! (Tricky to reheat)Feb 28, 2011
By Q. Hunt
":q!"
My husband and I bounce back and forth between Schar and Ancient Harvest for gluten free pastas. Schar is more similar to standard pasta in taste, and we love the penne shape, but we haven't figured out the trick for reheating it. (It doesn't taste or feel right reheated for some reason. We tend to throw the leftover sauce on top - so maybe keeping them separate and adding water to the pasta dish will help.)
If you're looking to try a different brand though -- one that reheats normally -- I recommend Ancient Harvest e.g. Ancient Harvest Quinoa Organic Pasta Gluten Free, Elbows, 8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12).
Hope this helps!

This is GF?May 01, 2010
By Zanne
I just tried to do this review and the computer did something weird, so if it shows up twice, sorry.
This brand is the absolute best! The fact that it's the best selling GF pasta in Europe should tell you something. I like rice noodles for Asian cooking but need Schar's for my Italian recipes. I have tried all the major brands of GF pasta and this beats all hands down.
I keep trying to make extra each time I cook so I can have leftovers for lunch, but I end up eating all of it - OINK! It also seems lighter on my stomach and I don't have that heavy sluggish feeling after eating it, like what happened with wheat pasta in the past.
If you are still stuck on Tinkyada etc., give yourself a break and try this - you will be pleasantly surprised.
They have a great website and their nutritionist is very helpful (and GF too).

Without a doubt, the BEST GF pasta out thereApr 27, 2012
By J. Delaney
"photobuff"
I don't normally write reviews, but this product is an absolute must if you need to be gluten free. It really tastes like regular pasta - we have tried every other possible brand and this is the hands down winner by a mile! It is expensive, but worth every penny. I won't every go back to any other brand. Enjoy!
