I’ll have to look up the brand that we used Veronica. I’m in the US. I do know that this particular gluten free pasta was made with Potato, Rice and Soy flour. It was pretty good. There’s a slight difference in texture because of the potato (it was almost a little chewy, not like the Al Dente I’m so accustomed to). With sauce though, it’s difficult to notice the difference.

I’ve actually spent a good deal of time in Germany and believe I’ve seen Semper before. I’ll look for it stateside and give it a go.

Thanks for commenting!

Gluten free pasta isn’t that bad, but I’ve tried bad types and good types. Doesn’t say anywhere where you live? But here in Scandinavia the most common type is made out off potato, rice and maize/corn flour. That tastes very good! There must be a difference in taste, but I have noticed it yet!

I found pasta made with only maize/corn flour once, THAT was hideous! Awful lot of starch in it, really “heavy” to eat, only ate half of what I made and was so full.. Really hard to find out how much I needed to cook, next time I took a half portion, still I didn’t finish!

If you’re ever in Scandinavia, Germany and I’m guessing UK but the English site was down, look for Semper products. They only use “combination” flour, so everything tastes good! The maize-pasta was made by someone else.
