<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I've been looking among the many GF pasta purveyors for shapes that will appeal to my 4-year-old, in particular alphabets and wagon wheels (those interested only in weighty subjects might wish to skip this msg ...). The only source I've found for the former is Dr. Schar (from Italy; purchased through De-Ro-Ma), whose instructions are to boil for 4 minutes, then drain. After 2 there was nothing to drain; the tiny letters had absorbed all the water, and were indistinguishable from grains of rice. Has anyone had better luck, or been able to locate wagon wheels, on which I've drawn a blank? thanks very much.
