<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> When cooking gluten-free pasta please use LOTS of boiling water. Each different brand will state on the package what the cooking time will be for that particular brand of pasta. Set a timer for 1 minute LESS than what the package states. Start timing the pasta as soon as it goes into the boiling water. Taste test when the timer goes off and adjust cooking time if needed or to suit your taste. Drain and rinse in HOT water. Do not add oil to the pasta water as you may have done in the past. This will cause the pasta to become gooey...the sauce will not stick to the pasta when oil is used either.
