What can I substitute for pasta in gluten-free meals?

Rice pasta, chickpea pasta, lentil pasta, and zucchini noodles are all excellent gluten-free alternatives. Certified gluten-free pasta made from rice or corn holds up well in baked dishes and cream sauces.

Is rice always gluten-free?

Plain rice -- white, brown, or wild -- is naturally gluten-free. The risk comes from flavoured rice mixes, rice cooked in shared pots, or sauces added at the table, so always check labels and preparation methods.

How do I thicken gluten-free sauces?

Cornstarch, arrowroot powder, and tapioca starch are reliable gluten-free thickeners. Use about half the amount you would use of regular flour and whisk into a cold liquid slurry before adding to the hot sauce.

Is worcestershire sauce gluten-free?

Many Worcestershire sauce brands contain malt vinegar derived from barley, which is not gluten-free. Look for specifically labelled gluten-free versions such as Lea & Perrins in the US or check the label carefully.
