I will admit that I do not have any issues with gluten. I do know that it can be a really big problem for people. Many products are being produced gluten free to allow people to enjoy favorites like pasta, bread, cookies and cakes. I was curious as to how they tasted so when Cybele offered to send me samples of their gluten free pasta made from vegetables. I was eager to give them a try.
The company sent me sample bags of three flavors and coupons for two full bags. I cooked the green lentil, cauliflower and parsnip and the red lentil, beet, sweet potato and carrot pastas for the dish I made for the hubby. I tasted the Cybele Vegetable pastas plain before I made his dinner - they were different than flour based. They were very tasty, just a different texture. I can’t say that if I tried the two flavors in a blind taste test that I could tell them apart. They tasted pretty much the same to me but it did make for a pretty presentation with the two colors of pasta.

How Was It?
This was all for the hubby. I don’t eat spinach or salmon. He said he loved it so that is all that matters to me. The gluten free pasta was a positive for him too. He agreed with me about the texture but he also agreed with me that he’d happily eat the Cybele Vegetable Pasta again.
