Asian Asian Bunny

When we first started eating Gluten-Free a friend asked us about pastas and I listed a few that we had tried, but couldn't remember the exact name of one of them. I remembered that it was an "Asian-sounding" name and that there were bunnies on the package. Our friend jokingly said "Asian Asian Bunny" and that name has stuck in our household.

Tinkyada is one of our favorite Gluten-Free pastas. We have tried both the white and brown rice pastas in an variety of shapes, and loved them all.

The packaging says it all: "Good Consistent Texture, Not Mushy"
Some of the first Gluten-Free pastas we tried didn't quite have that smooth "pasta texture", nor did they hold up throughout our meal -they sometimes clump and break apart.  Tinkyada is just the opposite. It holds up throughout the meal, even when reheating (which is a big plus in our household, hello leftovers!)
I love to use this pasta for my favorite dish, Shrimp Scampi.  The secret to a successful Shrimp Scampi dish is to let the pasta marinate with the meal in the pan so it absorbs a lot of the liquid.

Another dish I like to use this pasta with is Mac and Cheese.  It doesn't dry out like other pastas and Tinkyada is perfect because it (practically) can't be over cooked.

The color of the pasta may not match those of traditional pasta, but even if your eyes aren't convinced, your mouth will be happy!
