Pasta (was fighting cravings AND MOROCCAN STEW RECIPE!)

[Guest guest]

I've tried different brands of pasta (rinsing with cold water) and

Tinkyada is definetly our preference. No matter what kind of noodle

in the Tinkyada brand, elbows, rottini, spaghetti, fettucini,

lasagna, penne, they all are great! I've noticed too that most of the

other brands fall apart. We are Tinkyada fans!

My family prefers Erowon to Tinkyada and if we are using rice vermicelli we

get an asian brand from the local asian store. Both these brands are much

less expensive than Tinkyada as well. Feeding six people I cannot afford

pasta that cots $4 for the small sized box. We would need two boxes just

for one meal and I really try to keep the overall cost of our meals to under

$10 a meal - often under $5. Maybe the brands I use are not as starchy as

the more expensive ones, although the Erowon will go to mushy if cooked too

long or on to high a heat.

We use Tinkyada or the Trader Joe's variety.

 

Other brands aren't an option because we *must* use wholegrain. I

don't care for the quinoa/corn pasta or the pastas made from navy beans.

 

I sometimes use the starch-based Asian noodles, but my husband can't

have them.
