Maninis Gluten Free Fresh Pasta is so unique, you can make your favorite hot and cold pasta dishes! The following are recommendations for cooking Maninis Gluten Free pasta in hot or cold recipes:
- After placing the pasta in a dedicated* pot of boiling water, do not stir for the first 2 minutes.
- If you wish to cool the pasta, it should be done by submerging the pasta in room temperature water. Do not shock in cold or ice water; the texture will be compromised.
*In order to prevent cross contamination to highly sensitive people who are intolerant of wheat pasta, it is highly encouraged you dedicate a pot to the gluten free pasta and only cook gluten free pasta in that water.
