According to the National Celiac Association, every 1 in 100 people has celiac disease, with 75% yet to be diagnosed. Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects the gastrointestinal tract. People who have CD are intolerant to gluten, a group of proteins found in wheat, rye and barley. This previously meant a life of bad tasting and weird textured bread, cereal, tortillas, chips, pasta, etc. if they wanted to stay gluten-free.
Good thing times have changed.
The food industry has made great strides in making gluten free products that actually taste good available to those who need or want it. I’m always on the lookout for good products to recommend to my clients and readers. That’s why I’m excited to team up with Barilla® for this post, showcasing their gluten free penne pasta in this Mediterranean Chicken & Pasta Skillet Dinner.
Barilla® Gluten Free pasta has a taste and texture similar to “regular” pasta. Seriously, I couldn’t tell it was gluten free when I ate it. My “selective eater” husband even loved this dish and went back for seconds. No questions asked or comments made about it being gluten free. My kids gobbled it up, too. In fact, the pasta was their favorite part of the whole dish. They picked the pasta out and ate it before getting to the chicken and veggies.
In addition to being similar to the classic pasta taste and texture, Barilla Gluten Free pasta is made with a blend of non-GMO corn and rice and is certified gluten free (produced on a dedicated gluten free line). If you have CD or are gluten-sensitive, you can have your pasta and eat it, too!
But don’t think this has to be special made only for the gluten free people in your house, this is a pasta the whole family can enjoy! I stopped by my local Albertson’s and bought several boxes to stock my pantry, even though no one in my house is gluten intolerant.
