Outstanding! I'm excited to try more...Jun 01, 2009
By Leo's Folks
We committed to a gluten-free, casein-free diet for our son a couple of months ago, and we have sorely missed pasta! Each foray into rice pasta has been a gummy heap of disappointment, really. I bought this pasta because it looked interesting, but didn't expect to enjoy it...
OMG!!! We have pasta back! I just boiled some up with some salt and a splash of EVOO and my son and I were eating it plain... The flavor, texture, appearance was all very appealing. I'm excited to try more of Mrs Leeper's corn pasta - rotini and radiatore are next :)
I had a favorite pasta-diced chicken-artichoke hears-kalamata olives-greek dressing salad that I miss so much - and I will go straight out and buy more of Mrs Leeper's pasta so I can try making it with corn pasta.
I'll be cooking up more of the corn spaghetti as a non-sticky take-along finger food. I am SOOOO happy!!

Tastes like regular pastaMay 02, 2009
By J. Kotsonis
We've tried so many different brands of gluten-free pasta since my husband was diagnosed with celiac disease last year. Mrs. Leeper's is the best tasting thus far. It has the same al dente bite and taste of regular pasta. I can finally make dinner and not have my husband wear that disappointed look on his face like he's missing out. He loved his Barilla, but this tastes just as good!

 Gluten free pasta alternativeAug 02, 2009
By A. Bogaev
I prefer this pasta to the brown rice pasta for gluten free pasta. The corn pasta holds its form much better than brown rice. If you need a pasta that is gluten free I highly recommend this product. Mrs. Leepers makes many different shaped gluten free pastas that you can't find in the grocery store.

Mrs. Leeper's Pasta Organic Gluten Free Corn SpaghettiApr 11, 2009
By Miss Scarlet
These are amazing and unable to consistently find in the Atlanta area . . . so rather than continue driving around looking for them, I found them at Amazon.com. Thanks Amazon - and Mrs. Leeper's! I prefer corn spaghetti over rice and this brand is THE BEST. Only other tip to offer, let water boil VERY HOT with a smidge of oil before dropping pasta in and there will be no sticking. Also, other brands may break down while leftover in the fridge if mixed with other ingredients. Mrs. Leeper's won't!

Delicious!Mar 02, 2011
By Bunkster Brown
A year ago I was diagnosed with allergies to wheat and gluten, among other things. After trying brown rice pasta and a few other kinds, I went back to eating the regular stuff. I bought a package of Mrs. Leeper's and had it in my cupboard for quite a while. But whenever I'd make my husband's favorite pasta, with white clam sauce, I'd be afraid to "ruin" the dish by using gluten free pasta... and it was just too much work to make two different kinds, so I'd just eat the regular stuff and deal with the allergy symptoms.
My husband went out of town so I decided to try the Mrs. Leeper's while he was gone. I was VERY pleasantly surprised at how delicious it is!! I am confident that I could use it in my hubby's favorite dish, not tell him that it's GF, and he would never even know the difference.
I had to cook it slightly longer than the package directions... it was still a bit too hard. I like my pasta al dente but not raw. I think I cooked it a minute or two longer than the directions called for. I also didn't rinse it... just drained it and threw it in with the sauce I had going in a different pan. It held up very well to being added to sauce, and the extra minute of heating and tossing (unlike all the other GF pastas I've tried, which turned into 1/2" pieces of gloop when I did that). The pasta retained its form and texture throughout the eating phase as well. There would be nothing to indicate that it was not "regular" pasta.
One thing... I did have a SLIGHT allergic reaction to it... a histamine kind of thing. The ingredients say "100% organic corn flour" and that is all. But what do they use to bind it together? The word "flour" implies to me that it is ground corn mixed with a blend of other things that make it "flour." Hopefully they use corn starch, to keep it 100% corn. But I'm not so sure that corn is the only thing it contains... because I have these types of histamine reactions whenever I "accidentally" consume soy or tapioca. So I've got a call into World Finer Foods to determine whether there is any other ingredient other than corn. Of course whenever I call any manufacturer to find out what "hidden ingredients" are in their products, you can never get a true answer. Especially because this product is from Italy, and you have no way of contacting Mrs. Leeper's directly... every contact link redirects back to World Finer Foods.
Let me just say that as a person who suffers from numerous food allergies, our FDA does a very poor job in enforcing disclosure on labels. I have a potentially deadly allergy to red pepper, and companies don't have to disclose that ingredient. As long as the ingredient is considered "natural," they can just put "spices" on the ingredients and leave it at that. This should really be addressed by our legislators. There are MANY people out here in the good ol' US of A who are allergic to hot pepper flakes, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, black pepper, and many other "spices." It's time that we know what's in something when we eat it. Food manufacturers need to have better disclosure, and be accountable for what they put in their products. I know that this isn't specifically about this pasta... but it is about the difficulty I'm having in finding out what the "binding" agent is in the corn flour.
