Gluten-free Cooking Tips

Gluten-free pasta tends to form into clumps if not cooked correctly. Start stirring as soon as you have dropped the pasta into salted, boiling water, and continue for 30 seconds. (The salt is important as it provides flavour.) Then stir occasionally, at least for the first 3-5 minutes, as this is when the pasta is most likely to stick together. To prevent overcooking, start tasting a few minutes before the cooking time suggested on the packet. Drain the pasta, place in a bowl and stir in the sauce of your choice. Leave to rest for a few minutes before serving so that the starches that are released by the pasta are fully absorbed into the sauce.
