Anything good there, or do I keep thinking?

tesco do a good gluten free pasta, it is potato based. we use it when our friend comes and she has celiac disease and that way you have a choice of lots of pasta sauces

Thank you so much for responding these suggests that i have received are absolutely fantastic! All i need to do know is decide on which ones to cook! Thanks again.

A coeliac can eat a lot of ordinary foods but they must not contain wheat flour, rye, barley or oats. There is a lot of gluten free pasta available but beware buying any shop bought sauces unless they state gluten free on the label. Sauces or gravy can be thickened with cornflour.
