Liguori Gluten Free
Liguori's gluten-free dry pasta made with brown rice and maize, with a rough bronze-drawn surface.
Liguori Gluten Free is Liguori's gluten-free dry pasta. The maker describes it as an "innovative recipe" based on brown (wholegrain) rice and maize. It contains no wheat and therefore no semolina, so it is not Pasta di Gragnano PGI.
Like the wheat ranges, the gluten-free pasta is extruded through rough bronze dies. According to Liguori, this gives a firm, chewy texture that holds sauce well.
Shapes: spaghetti (1.75 mm thick, 10 minutes' cooking), penne rigate and fusilli.
The pasta is meant for people who avoid gluten, including those with coeliac disease, and for anyone who wants to vary the menu with pasta made from rice and maize flour. It is served with the same sauces as wheat pasta: tomato, pesto, vegetables or seafood.
The range is made by Liguori, a pasta maker in Gragnano, Campania, whose history goes back to 1795 and whose pasta is sold in more than 70 countries. On this site it belongs to the section on pasta from other flours and gluten-free pasta, together with other wheat-free pastas.
