GLUTEN-FREE
PASTA PRIMER
There are lots of new types of pasta available at the supermarkets these days. Many of them give pasta lovers with gluten sensitivity plenty of options.
TYPES OF GLUTEN-FREE PASTA
Choosing a gluten-free pasta boils down to personal taste preference. Rice pasta, usually made with brown rice, is one of the most popular choices thanks to its mild flavor. Corn pasta has a bright yellow color and rough texture that is good for holding sauces. The problem with corn pasta is that it can have a distinctive corn flavor. Quinoa pasta sounds like it would be the best nutritional choice. However, a lot of food manufacturers, knowing that quinoa is now very popular, label their packages as quinoa pasta when the contents actually contain mostly rice or corn and just a little quinoa. So be sure to check the labels to be sure that the only ingredient is quinoa.
COOKING THE PASTA
The worst thing you can do to gluten-free pasta is to overcook it. Overcooking causes the pasta to get mushy and slimy. Read the cooking directions on the package but test the pasta often. As soon as the pasta is tender, drain it and add it to the sauce.
SERVING THE PASTA
If you're trying gluten-free pasta for the first time, serve it with a hearty sauce, such as a meat ragu or Alfredo sauce. With this type of sauce you won't notice much of a difference from regular wheat pasta. Don't serve rice pasta cold or keep it for leftovers because it will harden when cooled, just like cold rice, and the pasta will become stiff and taste like cardboard.

Grated Cheese
When a recipe calls for grated cheese, you might not always know how big a block you should buy. The texture of a cheese makes all the difference, but as a general rule, three to four ounces yields one cup grated. To measure cheese, put it in a measuring cup and tap it against the counter; don't pack it firmly in the cup.
In this recipe the sausage, pasta and sauce are all cooked together in one skillet for a quick and easy meal.
