Jovial Grain-Free Cassava Fusilli, Fusilli Organic, Non-GMO, 8 Oz, 3 Pack | Gluten Free Pasta, Cassava Pasta, High-Fiber

Okay, we need to be very honest here. There are some negative reviews that this isn't like real, normal, every day semolina pasta. The kind of pasta that ruins some people's guts forcing them into a gluten-free and in this case for me, a grain free diet. Pasta is generally made from wheat flour. Gluten is food chemistry magic. It is what gives pizza dough that wonderful chewy texture, a donut that tender rise, a croissant the flaky crisps, and pasta the durability to be formed into hundreds of shapes then withstand drying, traveling, then vigorous boiling and tossing with sauces. For many, wheat can cause gastrointestinal issues. The best pastas come from Italy, and just as with Jovial - this pasta is made in Italy by the masters. This is a grain free pasta - meaning it is not made from wheat, corn, rice, or quinoa. As such, each of these flours imparts a different taste, texture, ability to withstand boiling etc. I recently went on an AIP (autoimmune protocol) diet which removes all grains to help calm a whole body inflammatory response. Eating pasta for me is really only about having a vehicle for sauces and flavors that I crave. This pasta does the trick, and it's even better if you can really amp up the flavors of the sauce you put on this pasta. The bite and chew is very similar to traditional wheat pasta - you'll have to tinker with boiling times, but you mustn't expect this to resemble entirely what you've known your whole life. Set that expectation aside and rejoice that you ARE eating a plate of pasta with your family. This has been a true lifesaver by allowing me to feel like I'm not really giving up anything. And excellent choice if you're seeking a grain free pasta.

The truth is that I thought I would hate this, but I don't. I really liked it a lot! I bought it to make a deluxe pasta salad for a friend on a very restrictive diet and it turned out great!! The key? WATCH the time and test constantly. It will go from being done to being mushy in a millisecond, but if you get it right....YUM!!!

Absolutely love these for clean eating. I even snack on them uncooked just like I did regular noodles. My 3 year old boy/girl twins eat them cooked & uncooked also!

This is definitely not the best tasting gluten free pasta but if you are completely grain free there is no comparison - this is definitely the best. I have hashimoto's and this fits well into the autoimmune protocol diet. I like the fusilli + penne shapes best.

Do not overcook. Otherwise, it is a great gluten free pasta. Tastes great

I recently went gluten-free and I've been exploring all the different flours and pastas etc. I decided to try cassava so I bought this fusilli. I had already tried the Jovial gluten-free brown rice pasta and I loved it; however, I can't say the same for this one. I cooked it for 11 minutes according to the instructions. This pasta has a weird texture, and there is a strange taste that's hard to explain--I can't really put my finger on it how to describe it to you--but I truly didn't care for it. since I didn't have anything else prepared I had to force myself to eat the entire dish and it was not pleasant. I read another one star review that said there was a warning it could contain lead right on the box--so I ran and got my box and, sure enough, there it was --a "lead warning" right on the box like that person said. This one is definitely coming off my list of gluten-free options.

Cleaner version of gluten free pasta the you will ever find

No taste and not a firm paste, you have to check the cooking time often, my paste apparently cooked too much and it lost its shape and was not “al dente”!!!
