My husband thought that this was really good pasta. I enjoyed it, too and it was sooooo easy to make. I was a little nervous at first but I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the regular pasta that I usually make and the gluten-free pasta. Trust me, it was just as delicious. This recipe is a keeper and I will definitely make this again in the future. Try it, I promise, you will not be disappointed.
