Hi!
I received several responses to my posting about a preference for corn pasta
over gloppy rice pasta. Here is info about the corn pastas I use.
Westbrae makes colored corn twists, elbow macaroni, spaghetti, and my latest
favorite-angel hair pasta. I buy Westbrae products at my food co-op where
they also have corn spaghetti in bulk which is cheaper. Westbrae and bulk
are also available at my local health food store.
My co-op also handles a brand called Mrs. Leeper's corn vegetable radiatore
which seems to hold it's shape and have a nice al dente feel. It is colored
as the Westbrae twists are. It says on the english/french label (probably
sold in Canada?) that it is made by Mrs. Leeper's, Inc., Poway, CA 92064 and
has been in business since 1927.
I find it is better to cook the corn a 8 minutes if it says 10. It holds its
shape even better and has a better al dente feel to me. After 2 years of
corn spaghetti, I'm really enjoying the angel hair pasta for a change. Now
if they could only make a lasagna noodle, we'd have it all! Hope this helps.
